Deployment of a Pentagonal Hollow-Rope Tensegrity Module

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Tensegrity systems are good candidates for adaptive and deployable structures and thus have applications in various engineering fields. A “hollow-rope” tensegrity syste ...

Engineering conduction and valence band states in site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir, Pascal Gallo, Jérôme Faist, Marco Felici, Arun Mohan

We demonstrate engineering of carrier states in the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of site-controlled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown into pyramidal recesses, by controlling their shape, size, and composition. QDs with CB level separation ...

Reduced Basis Method for Parametrized Differential Algebraic Equations

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede'

Parametrized systems of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) stand at the base of several mathematical models in Microelectronics, Computational Fluid Dynamics and other Engineering fields. Since the dimension of these systems can be huge, high computat ...

Numerical Simulation of a Class of PDAEs with a Separation of Time Scales

Benoît Chachuat

Problems that exhibit multiple time scales arise naturally in many scientific and engineering fields. For transient, distributed process systems, the corresponding models consist of partial differential equations (PDEs), possibly coupled to ordinary differ ...

Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
