Bioinspired wing and tail morphing extends drone flight capabilities
Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Flavio Noca, Enrico Ajanic, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan
The aerodynamic designs of winged drones are optimized for specific flight regimes. Large lifting surfaces provide maneuverability and agility but result in larger power consumption, and thus lower range, when flying fast compared with small lifting surfac ...
2020Mitigation of Wind-Induced Vibrations in Long-Span Bridges using a Distributed Flap System
Since the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge more than 70 years ago suppressing wind-induced instabilities has been a key aspect of the design of long-span bridges. The intensive experimental and theoretical research in wind engineering allowed research ...
EPFL2016Junctionless nano-electro-mechanical resonant transistor
Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Sebastian Thimotee Bartsch
A junctionless Nano-Electro-Mechanical (NEM) resonator, comprising a highly doped conductive channel (4) connecting a drain (9) and a source (10) electrode and movably fixed by at least two ends (11, 11') acting as said source and drain electrodes, respect ...
2014Influencing bend morphodynamics by means of an air-bubble screen-Topography and velocity field
Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué
Interactions between curvature-induced secondary flow, streamwise flow and bed morphology in open-channel bends lead to the development of a typical bar-pool bed morphology, shaped by scour at the outer bank and deposition at the inner bank. This typical b ...
