Empty Triangles in Complete Topological Graphs

A simple topological graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its edges are represented by continuous arcs with the property that any two of them meet at most once. Let be a complete simple topological graph on vertices. The three edges induced by any t ...

Funicular Explorations: Cardboard Box Curves Achieved through External Post-Tensioning

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Structural designers often face the challenge of developing forms optimal for a broad range of requirements, but inefficient in terms of structural behavior. In these cases, bending moments often occur under normal loading, resulting in oversized, inelegan ...

Using measurements to reduce model uncertainty for better predictions

Ian Smith, Romain Pasquier

Accurate models of real behaviour that are determined through measurements help engineers avoid expensive interventions and structural replacement. Model calibration by “curve-fitting” measurements to predictions is not appropriate for full-scale structure ...

Permeance Based Modelling of the Core Corners Considering Magnetic Material Nonlinearity

Drazen Dujic, Min Luo

Lumped magnetic circuit provides possibility for fast transient simulation of magnetic component together with power electronics circuit. The simplified geometry representation however is not able to completely reflect the real field distribution, especial ...

Analytic derivation of the (k/j)-order modulation envelopes in the sum of two mistuned (co)sine waves

Isaac Amidror

The beating effects which may occur in the sum of two mistuned cosine (or sine) functions whose frequencies f1, f2 satisfy f2 ≈ (k/j)f1 (where k/j is a reduced integer ratio) are known as “beats of mistuned consonances”. They have already been investigated ...

Anatomy of a Drop-Off Reading Curve

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet

Not all readers finish the book they start to read. Electronic media allow to us to measure more precisely how this “drop-off” effect unfolds as readers are reading a book. A curve showing how many people have read each chapter of a book is likely to be pr ...

Influence of the wetting angle on capillary forces in pressure infiltration

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Alain Léger

This work probes the influence of wetting on pressure infiltration. Pressure/saturation curves for the infiltration of packed F1000 angular alumina particle preforms by liquid Cu-Al and Sn-Al alloys are measured using an instrumented high-temperature press ...

Constructing reparameterization invariant metrics on spaces of plane curves

Martins Bruveris, Martin Bauer

Metrics on shape spaces are used to describe deformations that take one shape to another, and to define a distance between shapes. We study a family of metrics on the space of curves, which includes several recently proposed metrics, for which the metrics ...

Sampling Curves with Finite Rate of Innovation

Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan, Pier Luigi Dragotti

In this paper, we extend the theory of sampling signals with finite rate of innovation (FRI) to a specific class of two-dimensional curves, which are defined implicitly as the zeros of a mask function. Here the mask function has a parametric representation ...

Snakes with Tangent-Based Control and Energies for Bioimage Analysis

Michaël Unser, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We propose a novel active contour for the analysis of filament-like structures and boundaries—features that traditional snakes based on closed curves have difficulties to delineate. Our method relies on a parametric representation of an open curve involvin ...
