Accurate and agile flight with winged drones
Drones hold promise to assist in civilian tasks. To realize this application, future drones must operate within large cities, covering large distances while navigating within cluttered urban landscapes. The increased efficiency of winged drones over rotary ...
EPFL2024The effects of kinematics, flexibility, and planform on the vortex formation and aerodynamic performance of flapping wing flight
In this thesis, the aerodynamic challenges in flapping wing flight are addressed.In particular, the effects of different wing kinematics, flexibilities, and planforms on the the leading edge vortex development and aerodynamic performance are investigated.I ...
EPFL2023Hydro-mechanichal characterisation of bentonite/steel interfaces
Alessio Ferrari, Eleni Stavropoulou, Fabiana Sannasardo
The hydromechanical response of a Wyoming-type bentonite (MX-80) and its interface with steel was studied in terms of shear resistance under different hydration levels. A series of shear tests under constant normal stress were performed in total suction co ...
2023Real-Time Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Fast Mechatronic Systems
This thesis presents an efficient and extensible numerical software framework for real-time model-based control. We are motivated by complex and challenging mechatronic applications spanning from flight control of fixed-wing aircraft and thrust vector cont ...
EPFL2022Effect of the mineralogical composition on the elastoplastic hydromechanical response of Opalinus Clay shale
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci
Opalinus Clay is the shale currently under investigation as the host formation for geological radioactive waste disposal in Switzerland. Its hydromechanical response has been widely studied, and the experimental results show a range of values whose dispers ...
2021Impact of Classical Control Electronics on Qubit Fidelity
Edoardo Charbon, Fabio Sebastiano
Quantum processors rely on classical electronic controllers to manipulate and read out the state of quantum bits (qubits). As the performance of the quantum processor improves, nonidealities in the classical controller can become the performance bottleneck ...
