3D Smith chart constant quality factor semi-circles contours for positive and negative resistance circuits

The article firstly proves that the constant quality factor (Q) contours for passive circuits, while represented on a 2D Smith chart, form circle arcs on a coaxal circle family. Furthermore, these circle arcs represent semi-circles families in the north he ...

Nonlinear buckling behavior of a complete spherical shell under uniform external pressure and homogenous natural curvature

Matteo Pezzulla

In this work, we consider the stability of a spherical shell under combined loading from a uniform external pressure and a homogenous natural curvature. Nonmechanical stimuli, such as one that tends to modify the rest curvature of an elastic body, are prev ...

ENHANCED GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS (EGS) - NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF THE MODE AND LOCATION OF FRACTURE INITIATION

Mohamad Zaarour

Geo-energy is a comprehensive term used to describe any form of energy that comes from the Earth. This includes hydrocarbons such as gas, oil, and coal, but also geothermal energy (shallow and deep). The focus of this thesis is on Enhanced Geothermal Syste ...

On Sets Defining Few Ordinary Circles

Frank de Zeeuw

An ordinary circle of a set P of n points in the plane is defined as a circle that contains exactly three points of P. We show that if P is not contained in a line or a circle, then P spans at least ordinary circles. Moreover, we determine the exact minimu ...

Analytical solutions to a coupled fluid dynamics and neutron transport problem with application to GeN-Foam verification

Konstantin Mikityuk

Code verification is an important part of software development process that asserts code correctness. In this work, analytical solutions are used in order to develop a simple multiphysics problem involving coupled fluid dynamics and neutron transport to be ...

On some algebraic and extremal problems in discrete geometry

Seyed Hossein Nassajianmojarrad

In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer

n\ge 3

, we define

e(n)

to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...

Periodic population codes: From a single circular variable to higher dimensions, multiple nested scales, and conceptual spaces

Alexander Mathis

Across the nervous system, neurons often encode circular stimuli using tuning curves that are not sine or cosine functions, but that belong to the richer class of von Mises functions, which are periodic variants of Gaussians. For a population of neurons en ...

Gaussian Curvature as an Identifier of Shell Rigidity

Davit Harutyunyan

In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shell for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type boundary conditions. ...

A parametrical study on secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and theoretical modelling

Anton Schleiss, Joris Heyman

The dependence of curvature-induced secondary flow on the curvature ratio H/R (H is the average flow depth and R is the centreline radius of curvature), the Froude number Fr, and the dimensionless roughness coefficient Cf was systematically investigated in ...
