An end-to-end pipeline for historical censuses processing

Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Marion Kramer

Censuses are structured documents of great value for social and demographic history, which became widespread from the nineteenth century on. However, the plurality of formats and the natural variability of historical data make their extraction arduous and ...

Extended Integrated Force Method for the analysis of prestress-stable statically and kinematically indeterminate structures

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a new force method to predict the structural response of statically and kinematically indeterminate systems that can be stabilized through prestress, i.e. prestress-stable structures. This new force method, here named Extended Integrate ...

Minimum energy adaptive structures – All-In-One problem formulation

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a new All-In-One (AIO) implementation of an existing formulation to design adaptive structures through Total Energy Optimization (TEO). The method implemented in previous work is a nested optimization process, here named TEO-Nested. Num ...

Ultrafast Intersystem Crossing and Structural Dynamics of [Pt(ppy)(mu-(t)Bu(2)pz)](2)

Majed Chergui, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Rebecca Ann Ingle

Intersystem crossing (ISC) rates of transition-metal complexes are determined by the complex interplay of a molecule's electronic and structural dynamics. To broaden our understanding of these key factors, we investigate the case of the prototypical d(8)-d ...

A proof of equivalence of two force methods for active structural control

Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

This paper gives a proof of equivalence between two existing force methods (FM) for structural analysis: The Integrated Force Method (IFM) and a force method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of the equilibrium conditions here named as SVD-FM. Re ...

Identification of Mechanism Stiffness of Autoeliminating Clearance for Auxiliary Bearing

Yuanping Xu

In this article, a method for identification of equivalent stiffness was proposed based on a genetic algorithm by studying the stiffness characteristics of autoeliminating clearance auxiliary bearing devices (ACABDs) in static condition. Subsequently, the ...

Computationally Efficient Estimation of the Electric-Field Maximums for the MFT Insulation Coordination

Drazen Dujic, Marko Mogorovic

This paper proposes a methodology for computationally-efficient estimation of the local E-field maximums within the transformer winding insulation material for design optimization purposes, where besides the estimation accuracy, the computational cost repr ...

Size effect in shear and punching shear failures of concrete members without transverse reinforcement: Differences between statically determinate members and redundant structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Large efforts have been devoted in the past to understanding size effect in shear failures of members without transverse reinforcement. Experimental works have demonstrated that increasing the size reduces the nominal shear strength provided that the failu ...

Molecularly Defined Nanostructures Based on a Novel AAA-DDD Triple Hydrogen Bonding Motif

Kay Severin, Konstantin Zhurov, Marcus Papmeyer, Clément Alexis Vuilleumier

A facile and flexible method for the synthesis of a new AAA–DDD triple hydrogen-bonding motif is described. Polytopic supramolecular building blocks with precisely oriented AAA and DDD groups are thus accessible in few steps. These building blocks were use ...

Human-Robot Synchrony: Flexible Assistance Using Adaptive Oscillators

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom, Renaud Ronsse

We propose a novel method for movement assistance that is based on adaptive oscillators, i. e., mathematical tools that are capable of extracting the high-level features (amplitude, frequency, and offset) of a periodic signal. Such an oscillator acts like ...
