Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

A model-based data-interpretation framework for post-earthquake building assessment with scarce measurement data

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

Recent earthquake events throughout the world have once again exposed the vulnerability of buildings with respect to earthquakes. It is unlikely and unsustainable to design and - especially in regions with low-to-moderate seismic hazard – to retrofit all b ...

From research to sustainability transitions - Identifying pathways to societal effects

Thorsten Schilling

Problem statement. The rise of sustainability as a guiding norm for societal development also affects knowledge production in science. Particularly in the context of sustainability science, researchers are increasingly confronted with claims for creating s ...

Cyclic Load-Transfer Approach for the Analysis of Energy Piles

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman

Moreover, a two-dimensional finite-element model has been developed by incorporating unloading-reloading responses into the monotonic load-transfer curves to define the soil-energy pile interaction during heat exchange operations. In this paper, the develo ...

Deep Learning for Music: Similarity Search and Beyond

Matthieu Gaston Michel Albert Devaux

This paper is a study on the use of Machine Learning and Deep Learning to determine the similarity between different musics. The first part introduces the framework used and some concepts of Deep Learning that will be used in the algorithms. The second par ...

Reverse engineering the motor control system

Berat Denizdurduran

Mammalian motor control is implemented by a combination of different networks and system, working coherently to plan the movement of the body or a limb and to execute this movement a dynamical environment. While it is believed that complex, voluntary movem ...

Resilience and agency in mature sustainability transitions. Theoretical conceptualisation and empirical analysis of actor- & system-level dynamics in sociotechnical energy systems

In Switzerland, Germany and Austria, as in many European countries, the transition of the energy sector towards more sustainability is a long-term transition process, unfolding since decades. It however only reached the regime level in recent years and the ...

A Simple Theoretical Model of Importance for Summarization

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

Research on summarization has mainly been driven by empirical approaches, crafting systems to perform well on standard datasets with the notion of information Importance remaining latent. We argue that establishing theoretical models of Importance will adv ...

A modeling approach integrating microbial activity, mass transfer, and geochemical processes to interpret biological assays: An example for PCE degradation in a multi-phase batch setup

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray

The rate at which organic contaminants can be degraded in aquatic environments is not only dependent upon specific degrading bacteria, but also upon the composition of the microbial community, mass transfer of the contaminant, and abiotic processes that oc ...

Design framework for the structural analysis of free-form timber plate structures using wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Anh Chi Nguyen

Geometrically complex timber plate structures using wood-wood connections are increasingly designed thanks to digital fabrication. Whereas their fabrication has been automated using computer-aided design programming, research focused on the development of ...
