Design for demise applied to spacecraft structural panels and experiments for ClearSpace One platform
With growing awareness of the vulnerability of the near-Earth space region and the anticipated surge in satellite objects, efforts are underway to assess and implement various mitigation strategies. These aim to minimize the impact of space activities and ...
EPFL2024Experimental characterization and stochastic models for time-dependent rupture of thin-ply composite laminates
Thin-laminate composites with thicknesses below 200 mu m hold significant promise for future, larger, and lighter deployable structures. This paper presents a study of the time-dependent failure behavior of thin carbon-fiber laminates under bending, focusi ...
2024RUM: Reconfigurable Umbrella Mesh
Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo
We propose Reconfigurable Umbrella Meshes (RUMs), a new class of preassembled deployable structures. A RUM has a compact rest state that can be easily altered to deploy into different bending-active 3D target shapes. RUMs consist of elastic beams and rigid ...
De Gruyter2023Analysis and expansion of the quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regime in ASDEX Upgrade
The quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regime, formerly known as either type-II ELM or small ELM regime is studied in ASDEX Upgrade. The regime is a natural type-I ELM-free H-mode. The operational space of QCE discharges in ASDEX Upgrade with respect to their ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space
Jian Wang, Yi Zhang, Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina, Zhirui Xu, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Jie Chen, Cheng Zhao, Wei Li, Yong Yang, Yi Wang, Hao Liu, Xiao Wang, Shuai Liu, Wenyu Zhang, Xuan Li, Yao Zhang, Ming Gao, Arshia Ruina, Andrii Kotenko
More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...
2022A semantic-driven tradespace framework to accelerate aircraft manufacturing system design
During the design phase of an aircraft manufacturing system, different industrial scenarios need to be evaluated according to key performance indicators to achieve the optimal system performance. It is a highly complex process involving multidisciplinary s ...
SPRINGER2022iCub Joint Space Self-Collision Avoidance [Data & Code]
These data files containg code sources for dataset creation & model learning (Joint-Space-SCA.zip) and collected synthetic dataset of free & collided postures for humanoid robot iCub (raw_binary_data.zip). Follow the Readme.MD files to launch the code if n ...
EPFL Infoscience2021Virtual Landmark-Based Control of Docking Support for Assistive Mobility Devices
Diego Felipe Paez Granados, Chen Yang
This work proposes an autonomous docking control for nonholonomic constrained mobile robots and applies it to an intelligent mobility device or wheelchair for assisting the user in approaching resting furniture such as a chair or a bed. We defined a virtua ...
2021The operational space for divertor power exhaust in DEMO with a super-X divertor
Holger Reimerdes, Marco Wischmeier, Mirko Wensing
SOLPS-ITER simulations of the European DEMO reactor with a Super-X divertor, which has larger major radius at the outer target and increased connection length, show an increased operational space for divertor power exhaust compared to the conventional sing ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Active biomaterials for mechanobiology
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann
Active biomaterials offer novel approaches to study mechanotransduction in mammalian cells. These material systems probe cellular responses by dynamically modulating their resistance to endogenous forces or applying exogenous forces on cells in a temporall ...
