The Environment, constant or variable?

Vasileios Chanis

The presentation delves into the significance of the concept of the Environment in Architecture, examining whether the term could be construed as a constant or a variable. Supported by a series of examples from the Alpine context, it seeks to illuminate th ...

Rectilinear translation four-bar flexure mechanism based on four Remote Center Compliance pivots

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Quentin Gubler

This paper presents a novel planar four-bar linkage compliant mechanism (called 4-RCC) based on four flexure-based Remote Center of Compliance (RCC) pivots. With particular configurations and dimensions, the beam shortening of the RCC pivots can compensate ...

euspen2022

In this paper, we focus on a theory-practice gap for Adam and its variants (AMSgrad, AdamNC, etc.). In practice, these algorithms are used with a constant first-order moment parameter 1 (typically between 0:9 and 0:99). In theory, regret guarantees for onl ...

Depth-averaged momentum equation for gravity currents with varying density: coefficient in pressure term

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

Gravity currents are often modelled by means of shallow water equations (SWEs). In these models, simplifications such as the consideration of a constant layer-averaged density are common. This note presents the complete and general derivation of a 2D depth ...

The Art of Flexure Mechanism Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Lennart Rubbert, Murielle Richard

Flexure mechanism design is an art, and this book provides the theoretical and practical foundation for scientists and engineers to express their creativity in this field. Flexure mechanisms, also known as compliant mechanisms, rely on the elasticity of ma ...

Liquid CO2 processing of solid polylactide foam precursors

John Christopher Plummer, Yonghoon Yoon

Diffusion of CO2 in polylactide was modelled by assuming the diffusion coefficient to depend on CO2 concentration, c, according to D[c]=D[0]exp[Ac], where D[0] and A are empirical constants, with the aim of optimizing impregnation of nominally amorphous an ...

Design, analysis, testing and applications of two-body and three-body kinematic mounts

Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis

Kinematic couplings are used when two rigid bodies need to be repeatedly and accurately positioned with respect to each other. They allow for sub-micron positioning repeatability by suppressing play and reducing strains in the bodies. Typical applications ...

EPFL2016

The overall aim of this work has been to develop sustainable solid thermally activated foam precursors suitable for the in-line production of lightweight bio-based foam core sandwich structures with consolidated wood particle facings, using a non-inflammab ...

EPFL2016

Any variation in the fundamental physical constants, more particularly in the fine structure constant, a, or in the mass of the electron, me, affects the recombination history of the Universe and cause an imprint on the cosmic microwave background angular ...

EDP Sciences2015

The excitation wavelength dependent photodynamics of pyrrole are investigated by nonadiabatic trajectory-surface-hopping dynamics simulations based on time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and the algebraic diagrammatic construction method to th ...
