Fatigue Life Prediction of Composites and Composite Structures, 1st Edition

The use of composites is growing in structural applications in many industries including aerospace, marine, wind turbine and civil engineering. There are uncertainties about the long term performance of these composites and how they will perform under cycl ...

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete slabs with punching shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Stefan Lips

Over the past century, the use of flat slabs in buildings and especially in parking garages has been growing as it is an economic and efficient solution. Flat slabs are easy to build and have, through their smaller depth, an economical and architectural ad ...

Structural characterization of unsaturated aggregated soil

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Azad Koliji

Despite the recent experimental studies of soil structure, a comprehensive understanding of the macroscopic response of a soil in relation to its structure has not yet been achieved. This lack of understanding reveals the need for further assessments of so ...

Evolving CPPNs to grow three-dimensional physical structures

Joshua Evan Auerbach

The majority of work in the field of evolutionary robotics concerns itself with evolving control strategies for human designed or bio-mimicked robot morphologies. However, there are reasons why co-evolving morphology along with control may provide a better ...

Using peptide loop insertion mutagenesis for the evolution of proteins

Kai Johnsson, Christian Heinis

The insertion of peptide loops into the polypeptide chain of proteins at surface-exposed regions is an attractive avenue to modify the protein's properties or to evolve new functionalities. The strategy of peptide loop insertion has, for example, been used ...

Targeted Photoswitchable Probe for Nanoscopy of Biological Structures

Theo Lasser, Kai Johnsson, Iwan Märki, Stefan Geissbühler, Noelia Laura Bocchio, Grazvydas Lukinavicius, Claudio Dellagiacoma, Sambashiva Banala

We introduce a photoswitchable O6-benzylguanine derivative and demonstrate its use for super-resolution microscopy of SNAP-tagged proteins based on single fluorophore localization. Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) reveals SNAP-tagged mi ...

Asynchronous variational integrators as a mechanical tool for dimensioning thin-shell structures

Yves Weinand, Tudor Ratiu, François Marie Alain Demoures

Thin-shell and rod theory using discrete mechanics applied to structures in civil engineering. The aim is to apply structure preserving algorithms to concrete problems in construction. The major objectives of this interdisciplinary work is the search and t ...

Structuration of thin bridge and cantilever structures in thick-film technology using mineral sacrificial materials

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Wassim Hraiz

Thick-film and LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) technologies find increasing use in meso-scale sensors, actuators and related devices that feature excellent dimensional, thermal and chemical stability at moderate cost. While several materials and pro ...

Modelling techniques to capture the backbone envelope behaviour of coupling beams subjected to seismic loading

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Neven Kostic

Structural R/C cores are a popular and efficient choice as lateral-load resisting system in medium to tall buildings. The walls of the cores typically present large openings providing access to elevators placed within them. Shear induced by lateral forces ...

Symmetric and unsymmetric donor functionalization. comparing structural and spectral benefits of chromophores for dye-sensitized solar cells

Xiaoqing Jiang, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Org. chromophores were synthesized to study the benefits of structural vs. spectral properties as well as the absorption properties and solar cell performance with an unsym.-substituted chromophore. High Voc was found for the structurally sym. dye which al ...
