Re-entry analysis of critical components and materials for design-for-demise techniques

Pénélope Leyland, Stefano Mischler, Seong-Hyeon Park

The concern caused by the rising population of space debris has increased. One of the recommended mitigation measures is the safe re-entry disposal either in a controlled or uncontrolled manner. Performing a controlled re-entry, where the spacecraft is gui ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Analysis-aware defeaturing: problem setting and a posteriori estimation

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Defeaturing consists in simplifying geometrical models by removing the geometrical features that are considered not relevant for a given simulation. Feature removal and simplification of computer-aided design models enables faster simulations for engineeri ...

Gain-switched semiconductor laser driven soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Dissipative Kerr soliton generation using self-injection-locked III-V lasers has enabled fully integrated hybrid microcombs that operate in turnkey mode and can access microwave repetition rates. Yet, continuous-wave-driven soliton microcombs exhibit low e ...

Enhancement of riveted steel bridges by adding a trough in UHPFRC acting in composite action

Eugen Brühwiler

Riveted railway bridges are commonly considered as being “old”, having fatigue damage and are therefore replaced. While this practice should be by now obsolete by using novel engineering methods like structural monitoring, prolongation of the service durat ...
