Mixed mode fracture behavior of welded wood joints investigated with the Arcan test

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Parviz Navi, Martin Rhême

Friction welding of wood is an assembly method that is still under investigation and development. A possible application for welded wood joints is the fabrication of multi-layered panels (i.e., cross-laminated panels). In an effort to model the behavior of ...

On Combining Multi-robot Coverage and Reciprocal Collision Avoidance

Alcherio Martinoli, Andreas Breitenmoser

Although robotic coverage and collision avoidance are active areas of robotics research, the avoidance of collision situations between robots has often been neglected in the context of multi-robot coverage tasks. In fact, for robots of physical size, colli ...

Buoyant Turbulent Kinetic Energy Production in Steep-Slope Katabatic Flow

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

We develop several critical concepts that should be considered when interpreting, modelling and designing future experiments for flows over sloping terrain. Vertical buoyancy fluxes in katabatic flows can be positive and a source of turbulent kinetic energ ...

Validation of NLFEA of reinforced concrete walls under bidirectional loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Beatrice Belletti

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) of the inelastic behaviour of RC walls are often carried out for uni-directional (in-plane) horizontal cyclic loading. In this paper the behaviour of RC walls with different cross-sections (T-shaped and U-shaped) s ...

Maximizing the displacement of compact planar dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset

We present a model and its experimental validation for the optimization of the in-plane displacement of a rigid platform mounted on a compact dielectric elastomer actuator. Unlike the situation in which the mechanical prestretch of the membrane is maintain ...

Review and improvement of simple mechanical models for predicting the force-displacement response of URM walls subjected to in-plane loading

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry

In performance-based seismic design the global displacement capacity of structures is predicted on the basis of local engineering demand parameters and mechanical models that link local and global deformation quantities. Although unreinforced masonry (URM) ...

Lagrangian Based Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Validation of a Planar Stabilized Platform for Mobile Systems

Mehmet Hasan Mutlu

Typical operating conditions for mobile sensor systems, and in particular mobile robots, exhibit a wide range of mechanical disturbances due their ego-motion. Sensor systems mounted on these mobile platforms often suffer to varying degrees from these distu ...

Effect of mechanical parameters on dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures

Dario Floreano, Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake

Soft robotics may provide many advantages compared to traditional robotics approaches based on rigid materials, such as intrinsically safe physical human-robot interaction, efficient/stable locomotion, adaptive morphology, etc. The objective of this study ...

Constraint-Based Graphic Statics - A geometrical support for computer-aided structural equilibrium design

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This thesis introduces “constraint-based graphic statics”, a geometrical support for computer-aided structural design. This support increases the freedom with which the designer interacts with the plane static equilibriums being shaped. Constraint-based gr ...

Analysis of dissociation of < c > and < c+a > dislocations to nucleate (1 0 -1 2) twins in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

A mechanism for (1 0 (1) over bar 2) twin nucleation in Mg is studied in which edge < c > and mixed < c + a > lattice dislocations dissociate into a stable twin, having at least the minimum 6-layer thickness formed by three glissile twinning dislocations, ...
