Fracture processes in rock have widespread implications in the geohazard, geomorphologic, and civil and mining engineering communities. Propagation of fractures reduces overall rock mass strength, can lead to large-scale gravitational instabilities, and ca ...
Soft adhesive pads attached to a rigid substrate show stick-slip behavior upon loading: they detach and reattach in a different location. This is accompanied by the lifting of the adhesive, the mechanical wave carrying this motion being known as a Schallam ...
The Basel region is one of the most seismically active regions in Switzerland. Already devastated by Nature in 1356, the city of Basel is now actively involved in assessing the seismic risk on its buildings in order to protect its patrimony and its populat ...
We define a conforming B-spline discretisation of the de Rham complex on multipatch geometries. We introduce and analyse the properties of interpolation operators onto these spaces which commute w.r.t. the surface differential operators. Using these result ...
The mechanical response of snow depends on its microstructural geometry. Parameters such as porosity and orientation (degree of anisotropy) are examples of microstructural parameters that can affect snow mechanical properties. Numerical simulations of snow ...
Seismic assessment of existing buildings is a very important area of research to predict the impact of an earthquake on an area. Over the years, unreinforced masonry buildings have shown to be highly vulnerable to seismic risk. Although Switzerland is cons ...
The nucleoprotein filament (NPF) is the fundamental element of homologous recombination (HR), a major mechanism for the repair of double-strand DNA breaks in the cell. The NPF is made of the damaged DNA strand surrounded by recombinase proteins, and its se ...
The stepped-pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19, 112 502) is extended to enable free-boundary multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MRxMHD) equilibrium calculations. The vacuum field surrounding the plasma inside an arb ...
Understanding the physical processes involved in snow avalanche‐obstacle interaction is essential to be able to estimate the pressure exerted on structures. Although avalanche impact pressure has been measured in field experiments for decades, the underlyi ...
Finite volume methods are proposed for computing approximate pathwise entropy/kinetic solutions to conservation laws with flux functions driven by low-regularity paths. For a convex flux, it is demonstrated that driving path oscillations may lead to "cance ...
