Mesh-based topology, shape and sizing optimization of ribbed plates
In this paper, we present a new parameterization and optimization procedure for minimizing the weight of ribbed plates. The primary goal is to reduce embodied CO2 in concrete floors as part of the effort to diminish the carbon footprint of the construction ...
Springer2024A lunar reconnaissance drone for cooperative exploration and high-resolution mapping of extreme locations
David Rodriguez Martinez, Daniel Tataru, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
An efficient characterization of scientifically significant locations is essential prior to the return of humans to the Moon. The highest resolution imagery acquired from orbit of south-polar shadowed regions and other relevant locations remains, at best, ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2024To tread or not to tread: comparison between water treading and conventional flapping wing kinematics
Karen Ann J Mulleners, Alexander Gehrke, Swathi Badala Krishna
Hovering insects are limited by their physiology and need to rotate their wings at the end of each back-and-forth motion to keep the wing's leading edge ahead of its trailing edge. The wing rotation at the end of each half-stroke pushes the leading edge vo ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2022Fire performance evaluation of GFRP-balsa sandwich bridge decks
Bridges are a critical component of national infrastructures and economies. A significant percentage of bridges built all around the world are made of reinforced concrete which according to building codes have a life span between 80-100 years. However, str ...
EPFL2022Fatigue Characterization of a structural adhesive
During the last decades, adhesives have become more preponderant as serious options to traditional mechanical ways of bonding things together. From airplane engineering to construction the advantages of such technique have pushed the innovation and conduct ...
2020A Low-Parametric Rhombic Microstructure Family for Irregular Lattices
New fabrication technologies have significantly decreased the cost of fabrication of shapes with highly complex geometric structure. One important application of complex fine-scale geometric structures is to create variable effective elastic material prope ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2020Effect of dislocations, Al-3(Sc,Zr) distribution and ageing temperature on theta ' precipitation in Al-Cu-(Sc)-(Zr) alloys
The 2xxx series aluminium alloys, which contain Cu as the main addition element, are widely used in the aerospace industry for their high specific strength. The main strengthening contribution in these alloys comes from the formation of theta' precipitates ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Fatigue life prediction of composites and composite structures - second edition
Fatigue Life Prediction of Composites and Composite Structures, Second Edition, is a comprehensive review of fatigue damage and fatigue life modeling and prediction methodologies for composites and their use in practice. In this new edition, existing chapt ...
