Geometrical digital twins of the as-built microstructure of three-leaf stone masonry walls with laser scanning

Katrin Beyer, Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Savvas Saloustros, Andrea Settimi, Andrea Cabriada Ascencio

Research on irregular stone masonry walls is hampered by the lack of detailed geometrical models of their internal micro-structure, i.e. the shape and size of each stone and its position within the wall. Without such a geometric digital twin of walls teste ...

Derivative voltammetry: a simple tool to probe reaction selectivity in photoelectrochemical cells

Kevin Sivula, Florent Alexandre Boudoire, Nukorn Plainpan

We demonstrate the use of the derivative voltammogram method to predict the selectivity of the photo-driven oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) on a WO3 photoanode as a function of applied potential using only information obtained from the linear sw ...

H-mode scrape-off layer power width in the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Roberto Maurizio

Obtaining acceptable conditions at the divertor targets of a next-step fusion experiment based on the tokamak concept is expected to be particularly challenging because of the small predicted value of the plasma power exhaust channel width. An increased co ...

Flexure-based mecano-optical multi-degree-of-freedom transducers dedicated to medical force sensing instruments

Sebastian Krzysztof Fifanski

This thesis develops novel multi-degrees-of-freedom flexure-based force sensors by exploiting white light interferometry. Fabry-Pérot interferometry measurement has nanometric accuracy which yields sub milli-Newton force sensing accuracy. Such force sensin ...

Quasi-static shear-compression tests on stone masonry walls with plaster: Influence of load history and axial load ratio

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Shenghan Zhang, Michele Godio

This paper describes quasi-static cyclic shear-compression tests on six plastered single-leaf stone masonry walls. Of the six walls, four are tested under different axial load ratios, performing a cyclic load history with two cycles per increasing drift de ...

Architecture and coevolution of allosteric materials

Matthieu Wyart, Riccardo Ravasio, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

We introduce a numerical scheme to evolve functional elastic materials that can accomplish a specified mechanical task. In this scheme, the number of solutions, their spatial architectures, and the correlations among them can be computed. As an example, we ...

Virtual Submodule Concept Applied to the Modular Multilevel Converter

Drazen Dujic, Alexandre François Christe

The design phase of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) needs to be supported by suitable tools for the submodule loss evaluation. This paper proposes a fast MMC cell loss calculation based on the virtual submodule (VSM) concept. Compared to other propose ...

How to Benchmark Objective Quality Metrics from Paired Comparison Data?

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

The procedures commonly used to evaluate the performance of objective quality metrics rely on ground truth mean opinion scores and associated confidence intervals, which are usually obtained via direct scaling methods. However, indirect scaling methods, su ...

A Bayesian Approach for Pervasive Estimation of Breaststroke Velocity Using a Wearable IMU

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Grégoire Millet

An ubiquitous assessment of swimming velocity (main metric of the performance) is essential for the coach to provide a tailored feedback to the trainee. We present a probabilistic framework for the data-driven estimation of the swimming velocity at every c ...

Capacity Design of Coupled RC Walls

Katrin Beyer

Capacity design is an important tool that enables controlled ductile response of structures when subjected to earthquakes. The need for specific capacity design requirements for walls coupled by deep coupling beams, however, is often overlooked and it is a ...

Analysis of Coupled Scalar Systems by Displacement Convexity

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Rafah El-Khatib

Potential functionals have been introduced recently as an important tool for the analysis of coupled scalar systems (e.g. density evolution equations). In this contribution we investigate interesting properties of this potential. Using the tool of displace ...

Mechanisms of Fano Resonances in Coupled Plasmonic Systems

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera, Benjamin Gallinet

Fano resonances in hybridized systems formed from the interaction of bright modes only are reported. Despite precedent works, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that Fano resonances can be obtained by destructive interference between two brigh ...

FAST TV-L1 OPTICAL FLOW FOR INTERACTIVITY

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gilles Puy, Emmanuel D'Angelo, Johann Paratte

Vision is a natural tool for human-computer interaction, since it pro- vides visual feedback to the user and mimics some human behaviors. It requires however the fast and robust computation of motion primi- tives, which remains a difficult problem. In this ...
