Automated image-based generation of finite element models for masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Radhakrishna Achanta, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero

To predict the response of masonry buildings to various types of loads, engineers use finite element models, specifically solid-element and macro-element models. For predicting masonry responses to seismic events in particular, equivalent frame models-a su ...

Spin Evolution in the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, François Reuse, Klaus Maschke

The first part of this article attempts to highlight in chronological order some prominent papers that have direct connexion with the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This timeline successively points to the role of level crossing, the notions of gauge fiel ...

Conjugate heat transfer in isolated granular clusters with interstitial fluid using lattice Boltzmann method

Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

The conjugate heat transfer in mixtures of a fluid and single granular clusters is studied in this paper using a novel lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) programmed for parallel computation on the graphics processing unit (GPU). The LBM is validated for heat c ...

The capture technology matters: Composition of municipal wastewater solids drives complexity of microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid profile during anaerobic fermentation

Pierre Rossi, Arnaud Michel Gelb

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represents a relevant option to valorize municipal wastewater (MWW). In this context, different capture technologies can be used to recover organic carbon from wastewater in form of solids, while pre-treatment ...

Quantum vibronic effects on the electronic properties of solid and molecular carbon

Michele Ceriotti, François Gygi, Han Yang

We study the effect of quantum vibronic coupling on the electronic properties of carbon allotropes, including molecules and solids, by combining path integral first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) with a colored noise thermostat. In addition to avoidi ...

Theory and simulations of homonuclear three-spin systems in rotating solids

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida

The homonuclear dipolar coupling is the internal spin interaction that contributes the most to the line shapes in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) H-1 NMR spectra of solids, and linewidths typically extend over several hundred Hertz, limiting the H-1 resolution. ...

Two-dimensional modelling of transient capillary driven damped micro-oscillations and self-alignment of objects in microassembly

François Gallaire

In the fields of microgripping and microassembly, the self-alignment motion of a solid micro-object linked by a liquid meniscus to a substrate or a tool is an inexpensive way to overcome the current limitations of the assembly processes at microscale by ge ...

Three-dimensional fluid-driven stable frictional ruptures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

We investigate the quasi-static growth of a fluid-driven frictional shear crack that propagates in mixed mode (II+III) on a planar fault interface that separates two identical half-spaces of a three-dimensional solid. The fault interface is characterized b ...

Quantum yield and brightness

Jean-Claude Bünzli

Brightness has different meaning in different contexts and some of these are reviewed. The scientific definition of brightness does not represent our perception. The current definition is that from the IUPAC Gold Book and is mainly restricted to solutions. ...

The uniform symbolic topology property for diagonally F-regular algebras

Javier Alonso Carvajal Rojas

Let k be a field of positive characteristic. Building on the work of the second named author, we define a new class of k-algebras, called diagonally F-regular algebras, for which the so-called Uniform. Symbolic Topology Property (USTP) holds effectively. W ...

Homonuclear Decoupling in H-1 NMR of Solids by Remote Correlation

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Federico Maria Paruzzo, Bruno Simões de Almeida

The typical linewidths of H-1 NMR spectra of powdered organic solids at 111 kHz magic-angle spinning (MAS) are of the order of a few hundred Hz. While this is remarkable in comparison to the tens of kHz observed in spectra of static samples, it is still th ...

Finite Element Modeling of Tight Elastic Knots

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Paul Johanns, Changyeob Baek, Paul Grandgeorge

We present a methodology to simulate the mechanics of knots in elastic rods using geometrically nonlinear, full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We focus on the mechanical behavior of knots in tight configurations, for which the full 3D defo ...

Melting of a skyrmion lattice to a skyrmion liquid via a hexatic phase

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Marco Cantoni, Fabrizio Carbone, Ping Huang, Thomas Schönenberger

While in 3D materials melting is a single, first-order phase transition, in 2D systems, it can also proceed via an intermediate phase. For a skyrmion lattice in Cu2OSeO3, magnetic field variations can tune this quasiparticle 2D solid into a skyrmion liquid ...

Functional Inverse Problems on Spheres: Theory, Algorithms and Applications

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Many scientific inquiries in natural sciences involve approximating a spherical field -namely a scalar quantity defined over a continuum of directions- from generalised samples of the latter (e.g. directional samples, local averages, etc). Such an approxim ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Semiconductor Nanowires: To Grow or Not to Grow?

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral

Semiconductor nanowires have demonstrated exciting properties for nanophotonics, sensors, energy technologies and end-of-roadmap and beyond-roadmap electronic devices. Fabrication schemes for nanowires are varied, but they fall into three general categorie ...

Nested Convex Bodies are Chaseable

Marek Elias

In the Convex Body Chasing problem, we are given an initial point v0. Rd and an online sequence of n convex bodies F1,..., Fn. When we receive Ft, we are required to move inside Ft. Our goal is to minimize the total distance traveled. This fundamental onli ...

On the reverse isodiametric problem and Dvoretzky-Rogers-type volume bounds

Matthias Schymura

The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr. on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose isodiametric quot ...

Temperature Dependence of the Vacancy Formation Energy in Solid He-4

Riccardo Rota

We studied the thermal effects on the behavior of incommensurate solid He-4 at low temperatures using the path integral Monte Carlo method. Below a certain temperature, depending on the density and the structure of the crystal, the vacancies delocalize and ...

Full Phase Diagram of Active Brownian Disks: From Melting to Motility-Induced Phase Separation

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Pasquale Digregorio

We establish the complete phase diagram of self-propelled hard disks in two spatial dimensions from the analysis of the equation of state and the statistics of local order parameters. The equilibrium melting scenario is maintained at small activities, with ...
