We perform a hybrid experimental and numerical study of the localization of deformation in thin spherical elastic shells under indentation. Past a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and sharp points of localized cu ...
This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...
We present results from an experimental investigation of the indentation of nonspherical pressurized elastic shells with a positive Gauss curvature. A predictive framework is proposed that rationalizes the dependence of the local rigidity of an indented sh ...
We numerically investigate electronic states, degeneracy lifting, and valley splitting in the conduction band of rolled-up Si/Ge nanotubes. Results are derived from a tight-binding model where the input equilibrium positions of the atoms are obtained by me ...
We establish basic local existence as well as a stability result concerning small perturbations of the Catenoid minimal surface in R-3 under hyperbolic vanishing mean curvature flow. ...
Rock avalanches are processes involving a huge amount of mobilised material, larger than 106 m3, and their propagation is characterised by a very high energy, such that no active mitigation measure is capable of protecting human lives and properties potent ...
Insight is provided in hydrodynamic processes governing the velocity redistribution in sharp river bends based on simulations of three recent experiments by means of Blanckaert and de Vriend's (2003, 2010) reduced-order nonlinear model without curvature re ...
For many structural glass components, buckling is known to be a major design issue, which is influenced significantly by several parameters. The latter include boundary conditions, slenderness and geometrical imperfections, in particular initial curvatures ...
The correction of field curvature by space or time multiplexing enables the design of a very simple imaging system for mobile device. Here, the optical design is presented and methods to correct the field curvature are discussed. This imaging system can be ...
In PureB technology, a layer of pure boron is deposited on Si using a commercial single-wafer Si/SiGe epitaxial CVD reactor, forming ideal nm-deep ultrashallow junctions with low saturation currents [1]. As another attractive feature, the PureB layer itsel ...
