Topology design of general tensegrity with rigid bodies

This study presents a general approach to the topology design of tensegrities with rigid bodies. To the best of the authors' knowledge, all existing topology design methods of tensegrities focus on tensegrities that only consist of members carrying axial f ...

Dynamic Clustering and Control for Large Scale Urban Networks

Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

Traffic congestion is a significant issue in all urban areas with concentration of activities for various city topologies and distribution of population and land use around the world. Developing realistic models that are able to replicate congestion spread ...

Modular DC/DC Converter: Comparison of Modulation Methods

Alfred Rufer, Drazen Dujic, Stephan Kenzelmann

This paper presents a bidirectional modular DC/DC converter. It consists of two Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) linked by a transformer to achieve galvanic isolation. This topology serves as “DC transformer” interfacing low and medium voltage DC grids. ...

Elasto-static micropolar behavior of a chiral auxetic lattice

Alessandro Spadoni

Auxetic materials expand when stretched, and shrink when compressed. This is the result of a negative Poisson's ratio ν. Isotropic configurations with ν≈−1 have been designed and are expected to provide increased shear stiffness G. This assumes that Young' ...

DNA Topology : A Biophysical Study of DNA Rings, Knots, and Catenanes by Means of Atomic Force Microscopy and Numerical Simulations

Guillaume Witz

This thesis explores different aspects of DNA topology through experimental and numerical techniques. Topology is a vast mathematical field, that deals with the spatial properties of objects undergoing continuous deformations, but here it is restricted to ...
