Optimization Formulations for the Design of Low Embodied Energy Structures Made from Reused Elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

The building sector is one of the major contributors to material resource consumption, greenhouse gas emission and waste production. Load-bearing systems have a particularly large environmental impact because of their material and energy intensive manufact ...

IntegrCiTy - D4.3 Report - Integrated method for systematic scenario generation using multi-objective optimization

Luc Girardin

Multi-energy networks are going to play an important role in dense areas (cities) for the energy transition and the integration of renewable energy sources [1]. The IntegrCiTy project uses a co-simulation approach at urban scale in order to maximize the pe ...

Exploring the application domain of adaptive structures

Gennaro Senatore

Using a previously developed design methodology it was shown that optimal material distribution in combination with strategic integration of the actuation system lead to significant whole-life energy savings when the design is governed by rare but strong l ...

Actuator Layout Optimization for Adaptive Structures Performing Large Shape Changes, Advanced Computing Strategies for Engineering

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures are sensed and actuated to modify internal forces and shape to maintain optimal performance in response to loads. The use of large shape changes as a structural adaptation strategy to counteract the effect of loads has been investigated ...

Rebounds of deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Outi Supponen

Presented here are experiments clarifying how the deformation of cavitation bubbles affects their rebound. Rebound bubbles carry the remaining energy of a bubble following its initial collapse, which dissipates energy mainly through shock waves, jets, and ...

Exploring the Links between Community-based Governance and Sustainable Energy use: Quantitative Evidence from Flanders

Thomas Jean F Bauwens

Community-based energy organizations have been said to influence their members’ energy-related behavior by activating social norms and by providing trustworthy information about sustainable energy investments and behaviors. However, little is known yet abo ...

Global well-posedness for the Yang-Mills equation in 4+1 dimensions: Small energy

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider the hyperbolic Yang-Mills equation on the Minkowski space

\reels^{4+1}

. Our main result asserts that this problem is globally well-posed for all initial data whose energy is sufficiently small. This solves a longstanding open problem. ...

Where Does Energy Go in Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy of Nanostructures?

Jürgen Brugger, Olivier Martin, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jérémy Butet, Valentin Flauraud, Gabriel David Bernasconi

Electron energy loss spectroscopy is a method of choice for the characterization of both the spatial and spectral properties of localized surface plasmon resonances. The energy lost by the impinging electrons is commonly explained by the Lorentz force acti ...
