Structural health monitoring (SHM) can be employed to reduce uncertainties in different aspects of structural analysis such as: load modeling, crack development, corrosion rates, etc. Fatigue is one of the main degradation processes of structures that caus ...
The contact area of rough surfaces has a great influence on many mechanical process in tribology. In this report, we used the simulation method to study the contact area between two rough surfaces and its evolution when sliding. We generated artificial sel ...
The area-wide distribution of permafrost is sparsely known in mountainous terrain (e.g. Alps). Permafrost monitoring can only be based on point or small scale measurements such as boreholes, active rock glaciers, BTS measurements or geophysical measurement ...
Learning from demonstration (LfD) is an intuitive framework allowing non-expert users to easily (re-)program robots. However, the quality and quantity of demonstrations have a great influence on the generalization performances of LfD approaches. In this pa ...
The phase of economic and humanitarian emergencies after the Great War functioned as a laboratory for architects to develop quick, rational responses. But socialist visions became stuck in privatization, and values of a bygone society were maintained by pr ...
Traffic simulation has been extensively used as a decision support tool for efficient traffic management in daily life. During disasters and incidents, traffic simulation can further help rescue teams to understand the current traffic state and the possibl ...
The principle of air compression can be utilized for the storage of electrical energy, with variable properties from the point of view of the energy efficiency. For the involved thermodynamic phenomena different approaches and realized systems lead to more ...
Alexandre Sarrasin (1895-1976) studied at Zürich Federal Swiss Institute of Technology (ETH) from 1913 to 1918. Despite First World War's conflicts surrounding the neutral Switzerland, the intellectual climate inside ETH was cosmopolitan and liberal. As un ...
The temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. Temperature has also a great influence on the creep of cementitious materials. Previous investigations have not provided a complete understanding of these effects; in particular ...
In several industrial case studies, we put in evidence that microsystem manufacturing costs skyrocket because of low yields. Sometimes product functionalities are badly defined ; sometimes metrology systems, in spite of their high cost, happen not to measu ...
