Geodesic Patterns

Bailin Deng

Geodesic curves in surfaces are not only minimizers of distance, but they are also the curves of zero geodesic (sideways) curvature. It turns out that this property makes patterns of geodesics the basic geometric entity when dealing with the cladding of a ...

Multiscale modelling of urban climate

Adil Rasheed

Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...

Spectral Properties And Linear Stability Of Self-Similar Wave Maps

Roland Donninger

We study co-rotational wave maps from (3 + 1)-Minkowski space to the three-sphere S-3. It is known that there exists a countable family {f(n)} of self-similar solutions. We investigate their stability under linear perturbations by operator theoretic method ...

Coupling CFD and chemical kinetics: examples Fire II and TITAN aerocapture

Pénélope Leyland

The investigation of the thermochemical field around planetary reentry capsules, and their experimental scaled models is made by coupling aerothermodynamic simulation of the corresponding flow field to a library of chemical kinetics of the specific atmosph ...

Situational Awareness Using A Single Omnidirectional Camera

Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato, Laurent Jacques, Eugenio De Vito

To retrieve scene informations using a single omnidirectional camera, we have based our work on a shape from texture method proposed by Lindeberg. To do so, we have adapted the method of Lindeberg, that was developed for planar images, in order to use it o ...

Iterative surface design for constructions based on timber panels

Yves Weinand, Ivo Stotz, Gilles Gouaty

The aim of our research is to develop a powerful tool for the generation and the fabrication of free-form architecture. Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as free ...

The continuous wavelet transform on conic sections

Pierre Vandergheynst, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

We review the known construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Next we describe the construction of a CWT on the upper sheet of a two- sheeted hyperboloid, emphasizing the similarities between the two cases. Finally we give s ...

The continous wavelet transform on conic sections

Pierre Vandergheynst, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

We review the coherent state or group-theoretical construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Next we describe the construction of a CWT on the upper sheet of a two-sheeted hyperboloid, emphasizing the similarities between the ...

IFS-Modeling for Feasible Freeform Timber Constructions

Yves Weinand, Ivo Stotz, Gilles Gouaty

Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as 'free-form' architecture. The lack of constructive feasibility of the designed architectural objects led us to consider disc ...

ORIGAMI - Folded Plate Structures, Architecture

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri

This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...
