Discrete Voss surfaces: Designing geodesic gridshells with planar cladding panels

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design and construction of doubly-curved structures often reveals to be challenging and can result in complex manufacturing and assembly. A recent strategy to tackle this difficulty consists in exploiting the connection between discrete differential ge ...

From kirigami to hydrogels: a tutorial on designing conformally transformable surfaces

Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Yue Wang

Elastic surfaces that morph between multiple geometrical configurations are of significant engineering value, with applications ranging from the deployment of space-based PV arrays, the erection of temporary shelters, and the realization of flexible displa ...

Jamming with Tunable Roughness

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

We introduce a new model to study the effect of surface roughness on the jamming transition. By performing numerical simulations, we show that for a smooth surface, the jamming transition density and the contact number at the transition point both increase ...

Rapid Deployment of Curved Surfaces via Programmable Auxetics

Mark Pauly, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Francis Julian Panetta

Deployable structures are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations; such structures enable industrial, scientific, and consumer applications at a wide variety of scales. This paper develops novel deployabl ...

Thick GaN growth via GaN nanodot formation by HVPE

Dmitry Mikulik

We demonstrate a 400 mu m-thick GaN layer on 4 inch (0001) Al2O3 substrates through GaN nanodot formation as a seed for stress relaxation layers, which were formed by an in situ special surface treatment using HVPE. The size and density of the GaN nanodots ...

From infinitesimal to full contact between rough surfaces: Evolution of the contact area

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

We carry out a statistically meaningful study on self-affine rough surfaces in elastic frictionless non-adhesive contact. We study the evolution of the true contact area under increasing squeezing pressure from zero up to full contact, which enables us to ...

Off-Axis Texture and Crystallographic Accommodation in Multicomponent Nitride Thin Films Deposited by Pulsed Magnetron Sputtering

Akshath Raghu Shetty

The study of texture in thin films is one of the possibilities to obtain information on the fundamental physical processes which govern the thin film growth. Near the substrate, the crystalline orientation of the coating layer will usually be influenced by ...

Harmonic Active Contours for multichannel image segmentation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Xavier Bresson, Dominique Zosso, Virginia Estellers Casas

We propose a segmentation method based on the geometric representation of images as surfaces embedded in a higher dimensional space, handling naturally multichannel images. The segmentation is based on an active contour embedded in the image manifold, alon ...
