Most architectural modelling software provides the user with geometric freedom in absence of performance, while most engineering software mandates pre-determined forms before it can perform any numerical analysis. This trial-and-error process is not only t ...
Working in groups and managing projects are important professional skills for engineers, and there is a growing demand to teach and assess such skills. But what should be taught and when? Tuckman’s famous “stages of development of performing groups” provid ...

An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...

The Swiss Nano-Tera.ch program addresses – among others – issues at the intersection of engineering and medical domains. Specifically, electronic-health (or E-Health) is a broad area of engineering that leverages transducer, circuit and systems technologie ...

A century-old tenet in physics and engineering asserts that any type of system, having bandwidth Delta omega, can interact with a wave over only a constrained time period Delta t inversely proportional to the bandwidth (Delta t-Delta w similar to 2 pi). Th ...
In this talk, we will first review the physics and mechanics of fluid driven fractures with the aim of engineering hydraulic stimulation in practice. In particular, based on theoretical modeling and comparisons with experiments, we will clarify a number of ...
Recent methods for localization of microphones in a microphone array exploit sound sources at a priori unknown locations. This is convenient for ad-hoc arrays, as it requires little additional infrastructure. We propose a flexible localization algorithm by ...
