C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Mark Pauly, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Quentin Christian Becker, Yingying Ren, Francis Julian Panetta, Davide Pellis

We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...

How roughness emerges on natural and engineered surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei

Roughness, defined as unevenness of material surfaces, plays an important role in determining how engineering components or natural objects interact with other bodies and their environment. The emergence of fractal roughness on natural and engineered surfa ...

Diffusion of energy technologies: the role and dynamics of supply-side information networks

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Gloria Serra Coch, Maria Anna Hecher

The diffusion of energy technologies is key for supporting the energy transition. While social influence and peer effects have been extensively studied on the demand side and found to impact adoption, less focus has been given to the role of information ne ...

Diversity and neocolonialism in Big Data research: Avoiding extractivism while struggling with paternalism

Daniel Gatica-Perez

The extractive logic of Big Data-driven technology and knowledge production has raised serious concerns. While most criticism initially focused on the impacts on Western societies, attention is now increasingly turning to the consequences for communities i ...

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 ...

Nothing New Under the Sun: Novelty Constructs and Measures in Social Studies

Davide Bavato

The concept of novelty is central to questions of creativity, innovation, and discovery. Despite the prominence in scientific inquiry and everyday discourse, there is a chronic ambiguity over its meaning and a surprising variety of empirical measures, whic ...

Detailed Placement for Dedicated LUT-Level FPGA Interconnect

Paolo Ienne, Grace Zgheib, Stefan Nikolic

In this work, we develop timing-driven CAD support for FPGA architectures with direct connections between LUTs. We do so by proposing an efficient ILP-based detailed placer, which moves a carefully selected subset of LUTs from their original positions, so ...

Turning crowds into communities: The collectives of online citizen science

Jérôme Baudry

Over the past two decades, a number of digital platforms have been developed with the aim of engaging citizens in scientific research projects. The success of these platforms depends in no small part on their ability to attract and retain participants, tur ...

Characterizing the Reserve Provision Capability Area of Active Distribution Networks: A Linear Robust Optimization Method

Fabrizio Sossan, Mokhtar Bozorg, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

Distributed energy resources (DERs) installed in active distribution networks (ADNs) can be exploited to provide both active and reactive power reserves to the upper-layer grid (i.e., sub-transmission and transmission systems) at their connection point. Th ...
