Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

An elastic rod in frictional contact with a rigid cylinder

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Paul Grandgeorge

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...

EPFL2019

During design a mechanical structure such as a robotic finger, modeling parts and designing joints are two time-consuming steps. This paper presents a method for design and fabrication of a humanoid robotic finger that intends to mimic the human finger in ...

Fluid-Structure Coupling Effects on the Dynamic Response of Pump-Turbine Guide Vanes

Steven Roth

Hydraulic pump-turbines are subject to a high periodic excitation due to the Rotor-Stator Interaction, RSI. Basically, the RSI is caused by the impeller blade passage in the wake of the guide vanes in generating mode, or upstream from the guide vanes in pu ...

Energy scavenging from a rotating gear using an impact type piezoelectric mems scavenger

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Pattanaphong Janphuang, Don Isarakorn

A device for energy harvesting from an impact by using a piezoelectric MEMS harvester comprising at least a gear (1) driven by an inertial mass system and a piezoelectric transducer (2) located over the gear in order to keep the system as compact as possib ...

Investigation of suprathermal ion transport in TORPEX

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

Basic aspects of suprathermal ion transport in interchange-mode unstable plasmas are investigated in the simple toroidal plasma device TORPEX. Suprathermal ions are generated with a miniaturized lithium 6+ ion source with energies up to 1keV, and are detec ...

2012

Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...

EPFL2009

The present invention discloses a device (CD) for converting a first motion (x s ) into a second motion ( y) responsive to said first movement (x s ) under a demagnification scale (i), comprising: a) an input portion (IP) being drivable in a rectilinear tr ...
