Oligomodal metamaterials with multifunctional mechanics

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

Mechanical metamaterials are artificial composites that exhibit a wide range of advanced functionalities such as negative Poisson's ratio, shape shifting, topological protection, multistability, extreme strength-to-density ratio, and enhanced energy dissip ...

On 2-Level Polytopes Arising In Combinatorial Settings

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile, Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

2-level polytopes naturally appear in several areas of pure and applied mathematics, including combinatorial optimization, polyhedral combinatorics, communication complexity, and statistics. In this paper, we present a study of some 2-level polytopes arisi ...

Sensitivity Analysis of Medium Frequency Transformer Design

Drazen Dujic, Marko Mogorovic

This paper discusses the technical challenges and trade-offs tied to design of medium frequency transformers (MFTs) for medium-voltage (MV) high-power (HP) power electronic applications, namely emerging solid state transformers (SSTs). A detailed analysis ...

Tuning the resonance frequencies and mode shapes in a large range multi-degree of freedom micromirror

Matthias Imboden

The ability to actively shift the primary resonance of a 2D scanning micromirror allows the user to set the scanning direction, set the scanning frequency, and lift otherwise degenerate modes in a symmetrically designed system. In most cases, resonant scan ...

Multi Level Monte Carlo Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Robust Design Optimization in Aerodynamics

Michele Pisaroni

The vast majority of problems that arise in aircraft production and operation require decisions to be made in the presence of uncertainty. An effective and accurate quantification and control of the level of uncertainty introduced in the design phase and d ...

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 ...

Gas Sampling Using Convection and Humidity Stabilization to Improve Point Gas Sensor Responses

Emily Ann Hammes

Many diseases including sick building syndrome, respiratory problems and cancers can be caused by exposure to high concentrations of toxins commonly used in modern building materials, paints, glues and furniture. To minimize exposure to these toxins, it is ...

Polynomials Vanishing On Cartesian Products: The Elekes-Szabo Theorem Revisited

Frank de Zeeuw

Let F 2 C[x; y; z] be a constant-degree polynomial, and let A; B; C subset of C be finite sets of size n. We show that F vanishes on at most O(n(11/6))points of the Cartesian product A X B X C, unless F has a special group-related form. This improves a the ...

Solid-gap wine-glass mode disks VB-FET resonators applied to biomass sensing

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Mariazel de la Candelas Maqueda López, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale

The working principle of an electromechanical resonator for mass sensing applications is based on monitoring the characteristic resonance frequency downshift due to the particles attachment on the surface of the device. Solid-Gap Vibrating-Body Field Effec ...
