General 2 degree of freedom isotropic harmonic oscillator and associated time base without escapement or with simplified escapement

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Lennart Rubbert

The mechanical isotropic harmonic oscillator comprises at least a two degrees of freedom linkage supporting an orbiting mass with respect to a fixed base with springs having isotropic and linear restoring force properties wherein the mass has a tilting mot ...

Isogeometric mortar methods

Annalisa Buffa

The application of mortar methods in the framework of isogeometric analysis is investigated theoretically as well as numerically. For the Lagrange multiplier two choices of uniformly stable spaces are presented, both of them are spline spaces but of a diff ...

Tunneling conductivity in anisotropic nanofiber composites: a percolation-based model

Claudio Grimaldi

The critical path approximation ('CPA') is integrated with a lattice-based approach to percolation to provide a model for conductivity in nanofiber-based composites. Our treatment incorporates a recent estimate for the anisotropy in tunneling-based conduct ...

TC 238-SCM - hydration and microstructure of concrete with SCMs: State of the art on methods to determine degree of reaction of SCMs

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Ruben Anton Snellings

This paper is the work of working group 2 of the RILEM TC 238-SCM. Its purpose is to review methods to estimate the degree of reaction of supplementary cementitious materials in blended (or composite) cement pastes. We do not consider explicitly the wider ...

Finite element differential forms on curvilinear cubic meshes and their approximation properties

Francesca Bonizzoni

We study the approximation properties of a wide class of finite element differential forms on curvilinear cubic meshes in n dimensions. Specifically, we consider meshes in which each element is the image of a cubical reference element under a diffeomorphis ...

Textured BaTiO3 by templated grain growth and electrophoretic deposition

Dragan Damjanovic

[001]-Oriented barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth using [001]-oriented plate-like template BaTiO3 particles, synthesized via the molten salt method. Platelets synthesized in a 2-step or 3-step molten salt were used in ...

Concept maps as versatile tools to integrate complex ideas: From Kindergarten to higher and professional education

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Knowledge is getting increasingly more complex. Learners, from Kindergarten to higher education, require powerful tools to connect complex ideas. This paper explores the range of studies that investigated concept maps as learning, metacognitive, collaborat ...

A toolbox of oligopeptide-modified polymers for tailored elastomers

Véronique Michaud, Holger Frauenrath, Joël Cugnoni, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Ruben Anton Snellings, Emmanuel Croisier, Su Liang, Thomas Schweizer

Biomaterials are constructed from limited sets of building blocks but exhibit extraordinary and versatile properties, because hierarchical structure formation lets them employ identical supramolecular motifs for different purposes. Here we exert a similar ...
