Model uncertainties in action effects and load bearing capacity calculation in statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures
Aurelio Muttoni, Alain Nussbaumer, Xhemsi Malja
For the dimensioning and assessment of structures, it is common practice to compare action effects with sectional resistances. Extensive studies have been performed to quantify the model uncertainty on the resistance side. However, for statically indetermi ...
Ernst & Sohn2024Structure and dynamics of liquid water from ab initio simulations: adding Minnesota density functionals to Jacob's ladder
Ursula Röthlisberger, Justin Villard, Martin Peter Bircher
The accurate representation of the structural and dynamical properties of water is essential for simulating the unique behavior of this ubiquitous solvent. Here we assess the current status of describing liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics, wit ...
Cambridge2024Probing structural and dynamic properties of MAPbCl3 hybrid perovskite using Mn2+ EPR
Michael Allan Hope, Yuxuan Zhang
Hybrid methylammonium (MA) lead halide perovskites have emerged as materials exhibiting excellent photovoltaic performance related to their rich structural and dynamic properties. Here, we use multifrequency (X-, Q-, and W-band) electron paramagnetic reson ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024Towards an Understanding of Hydraulic Sensitivity: Graph Theory Contributions to Water Distribution Analysis
Water distribution systems (WDSs) are complex networks with numerous interconnected junctions and pipes. The robustness and reliability of these systems are critically dependent on their network structure, necessitating detailed analysis for proactive leak ...
Basel2024High-frequency response of a hemispherical grounding electrode
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga
The lightning discharge current is characterized by a high-frequency spectrum extending from DC to about 10 MHz. The calculation of the grounding impedance is one of the most important aspects of designing lightning protection systems. The search for analy ...
2024Orbital-Resolved DFT plus U for Molecules and Solids
Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Eric Macke
We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard U correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particula ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Benchmarking machine-readable vectors of chemical reactions on computed activation barriers
Ksenia Briling, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Yannick Calvino Alonso, Malte Martin Franke
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in predicting computed activation barriers, to enable the acceleration of the automated exploration of reaction networks. Consequently, various predictive approaches have emerged, ranging from graph-based ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024Preliminary design of the cold mass supports for the EU DEMO feeders
The Cold Mass Support (CMS) is a basic structural component of the feeder system of the EU DEMO tokamak. The function of this structural element is not only to provide support to the containment duct - wiring the cryogenic lines, electrical bus bars and in ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023The Structure of Free Polyphony
The human ability to perceive and understand music is remarkable. From an unstructured stream of acoustic input it creates a wide range of experiences, from psycho-acoustic effects to emotional and aesthetic responses. One such set of phenomena is the expe ...
EPFL2023Automated planning for the construction of laterally resistant masonry walls using irregular stones
Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos
The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...
