Understanding the role of Hubbard corrections in the rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga, Lorenzo Bastonero

We present a first-principles study of the low-temperature rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3 using Hubbardcorrected density-functional theory. By employing density-functional perturbation theory, we compute the onsite Hubbard U for Ti(3d) states and the intersi ...

Overlapping Multipatch Isogeometric Method With Minimal Stabilization

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Xiaodong Wei, Riccardo Puppi

We present a novel method for isogeometric analysis (IGA) to directly work on geometries constructed by Boolean operations including difference (i.e., trimming), union, and intersection. Particularly, this work focuses on the union operation, which involve ...

Design and control of a prototype structure that adapts to loading through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Apoorv Srivastava

This paper reports on experimental testing that was carried out on a prototype adaptive structure designed to counteract the effect of loading through controlled large shape changes. The prototype is 6.6 m truss equipped with 12 linear actuators which has ...

Actuation Displacement Analysis of a Self-Switching Shape Memory Alloy Buckled Beam

Yves Perriard, Sean Thomas, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Morgan Almanza

This paper aims to simulate using Finite Element Modelling (FEM), a self-activating bistable buckled beam actuator using SMAs. In this work, various parameters such as the dimensions of the beam, shape geometry are studied to determine their effects on the ...

Code and its image: the functions of text and visualisation in a code-based design studio

Jeffrey Huang, Mark Meagher, Guillaume Labelle, Nathaniel Zuelzke, Trevor Patt

Traditionally, design learning in the architecture studio has taken place through a combination of individual work and joint projects. The introduction of code-based design practices in the design studio has altered this balance, introducing new models of ...

Modelling wind-driven rain on buildings in urbanized area using 3-D GIS and LiDAR datasets

Luca Rossi, François Golay, Sylvain Coutu, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Pauline Emery, Vera Wyrsch

This study investigated the distribution of the fraction of rainfall intercepted by the facades of buildings located in an urbanized area. We used the frequently used semi-empirical standard ISO-15927-3 to simulate Wind-Driven Rain on facades. The implemen ...

Parametric Materiality

Russell Alexander Loveridge

Sustainability issues are increasingly taking more prominent positions in the hierarchy of design decisions. The combination of linked digital analysis and parametric design has emerged as an integrated method of assimilating performative characteristics i ...

Diagnostic Techniques for Measuring Suprathermal Electron Dynamics in Plasmas

Stefano Coda

Plasmas, both in the laboratory and in space, are often not in thermodynamic equilibrium, and the plasma electron distribution function is accordingly non-Maxwellian. Suprathermal electron tails can be generated by external drives, such as rf waves and ele ...
