Processes governing the flow redistribution in sharp river bends

Koen Blanckaert

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 ...

Inter-Plane Communication Methods for 3-D ICs

Giovanni De Micheli, Vasileios Pavlidis, Somayyeh Rahimian Omam

Three-dimensional (3-D) integration is an emerging candidate for implementing high performance multifunctional systems-on-chip. Employing an efficient medium for data communication among different planes is a key factor in achieving a high performance 3-D ...

Parametric Materiality

Russell Alexander Loveridge

Sustainability issues are increasingly taking more prominent positions in the hierarchy of design decisions. The combination of linked digital analysis and parametric design has emerged as an integrated method of assimilating performative characteristics i ...

Representing complex urban geometries in mesoscale modeling

Darren Robinson, Alain Clappier, Adil Rasheed

Real cities are comprised of a diverse, random arrangement of building positions, shapes, and sizes. Yet most of the urban parameterisations thus far developed share the assumption that a city is made up of either a regular array of parallelepipeds or infi ...

Some estimates for h-p-k-refinement in isogeometric analysis

Annalisa Buffa

In this paper, we propose a theoretical study of the approximation properties of NURBS spaces, which are used in Isogeometric Analysis. We obtain error estimates that are explicit in terms of the mesh-size h, the degree p and the global regularity, measure ...

Curved Folded Plate Timber Structures

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri, Ivo Stotz

This work investigates the development of a Curved Origami Prototype made with timber panels. In the last fifteen years the timber industry has developed new, large size, timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels and the possibility of mill ...

Assistance using adaptive oscillators: Robustness to errors in the identification of the limb parameters

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi, Renaud Ronsse, Mike Domenik Rinderknecht

This paper provides a robustness analysis of the method we recently developed for rhythmic movement assistance using adaptive oscillators. An adaptive oscillator is a mathematical tool capable of extracting high-level features (i.e. amplitude, frequency, o ...

Origami - Folded Plate Structures

Hans Ulrich Buri

This research investigates new methods of designing folded plate structures that can be built with cross-laminated timber panels. Folded plate structures are attractive to both architects and engineers for their structural, spatial, and plastic qualities. ...

Computation and visualization of ideal knot shapes

Mathias Carlen

We investigate numerical simulations and visualizations of the problem of tying a knot in a piece of rope. The goal is to use the least possible rope of a fixed, prescribed radius to tie a particular knot, e.g. a trefoil, a figure eight, and so on. The rop ...

On the effects of the equilibrium model in gyrokinetic simulatins: From s-alpha to diverted MHD equilibrium

Olivier Sauter, Emiliano Fable, Xavier Lapillonne, Alice Burckel

In order to better identify the role of the magnetic topology on ITG and TEM instabilities, different MHD equilibria with increasing complexity are calculated using the CHEASE code [1]. We start from the geometry of the s-alpha cyclone benchmark case [2], ...
