Diagenetic isotope exchange in biocalcites for paleoclimate reconstruction
Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro
The oxygen isotope compositions of fossil biocalcites, such as foraminifera, bivalves, brachiopods, and belemnites have allowed for reconstructions of sea surface and deep ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic and constitute the most important reco ...
EPFL2024Leveraging the Snap Buckling of Bistable Magnetic Shells to Design a Refreshable Braille Dot
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tian Chen, Arefeh Abbasi, Bastien Freddy Gustave Aymon
A design concept is proposed for the building block, a dot, of programmable braille readers utilizing bistable shell buckling, magnetic actuation, and pneumatic loading. The design process is guided by Finite Element simulations, which are initially valida ...
Hoboken2023Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells
Tobias Schneider, Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot, Emilio José Lozano Vazquez
From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is very sensitive to imperceptible defects ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020Capsules with submicron shells: production, stability, and leakage behavior
Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...
