Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling

Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...

Nanoindentation of embedded particles

Andreas Mortensen, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

We address the effect of elastic inhomogeneity on elastic modulus and hardness determinations made by depth-sensing indentations performed on individual particles embedded within a matrix of different elastic modulus. Finite element simulations and nanoind ...

Metal Circus: Abstraction and Method in Aldo Rossi’s Early Work

Pier Vittorio Aureli

The essay focuses on the early work of Aldo Rossi, for the most part produced in collaboration with Gianugo Polesello, Luca Meda and Giorgio Grassi. In the early 1960s Rossi attempted to define a design method in which the juxtaposition of a limited set of ...

Efficient and Accurate Handling of Periodic Flows in Time-Sensitive Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Total Flow Analysis (TFA) is a method for the worst-case analysis of time-sensitive networks. It uses service curve characterizations of the network nodes and arrival curves of flows at their sources; for tractability, the latter are often taken to be line ...

Self-morphing Soft Parallel-and-coplanar Electroadhesive Grippers Based on Laser-scribed Graphene Oxide Electrodes

Djen Timo Kühnel

Electroadhesion is a versatile and controllable adhesion mechanism that has been used extensively in robotics. Soft electroadhesion embodies electrostatic adhesion in soft materials and is required for shape-adaptive and safe grasping of curved objects and ...

The effect of high relative humidity on a network of water-sensitive particles (couscous) as revealed by in situ X-ray tomography

Gioacchino Viggiani

Water significantly influences the mechanical behaviour of all granular materials but none as much as hygroscopic amorphous particles. With sufficiently high water content, particles can swell, agglomerate and their mechanical properties can be reduced, ha ...

Efficient lattice Green's function method for bounded domain problems

William Curtin, Ankit Gupta, Max Ludwig Hodapp

The lattice Green's function method (LGFM) is the discrete counterpart of the continuum boundary element method and is a natural approach for solving intrinsically discrete solid mechanics problems that arise in atomistic-continuum coupling methods. Here, ...

Electrostatic particle collector

Satoshi Takahama, Nikunj Dudani

2022

Single-particle tracking and optical tweezers are powerful techniques for studying diverse processes at the microscopic scale. The stochastic behavior of a microscopic particle contains information about its interaction with surrounding molecules, and an o ...
