An interior penalty coupling strategy for isogeometric non-conformal Kirchhoff-Love shell patches

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Giuliano Guarino

This work focuses on the coupling of trimmed shell patches using Isogeometric Analysis, based on higher continuity splines that seamlessly meet the

C^1

requirement of Kirchhoff-Love-based discretizations. Weak enforcement of coupling conditions is achiev ...

Dual-Band Circularly Polarized Transmitarray Antenna for Satellite Communications at (20 to 30) GHz

Juan Ramon Mosig, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva, Santiago Capdevila Cascante, Hamed Hasani

A novel dual-band polarization-independent transmitarray is introduced in this paper for communication systems in Ka-band. Thanks to its unit-cell topology, the transmitarray antenna demonstrates almost complete independent performance at two design freque ...

Robust Software Development for University-Built Satellites

Simon Bliudze, Anton Ivanov

Satellites and other complex systems now become more and more software dependent. Even nano satellites have complexity that can be compared to scientific instruments launched to Mars. COTS components and subsystems may now be purchased to support payload d ...

Electrochemical Model of a Triode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Arata Nakajo, Priscilla Caliandro

A Triode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell is a novel cell architecture that consists of two circuits: an auxiliary circuit, operated in electrolysis mode, and a conventional main fuel cell circuit. During triode operation, performance enhancement can be expected espe ...

Rigorous evaluation of propagation losses in arbitrarily shaped waveguide structures using boundary integral – resonant mode expansion and perturbation of boundary conditions

Michael Mattes

The accurate consideration of propagation losses in arbitrarily shaped waveguide-based structures is studied in this paper. For such a purpose, a software tool based on the perturbation of the boundary conditions on the waveguide metallic walls and on the ...

Multivariate statistical analysis as a tool for the segmentation of 3D spectral data

Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Guillaume Lucas, Pierre Burdet

Acquisition of three-dimensional (3D) spectral data is nowadays common using many different microanalytical techniques. In order to proceed to the 3D reconstruction, data processing is necessary not only to deal with noisy acquisitions but also to segment ...

Cavity-backed slot array antenna in substrate-integrated waveguide technology

Roberto Torres Sánchez

A slot array placed on the face of a cavity realized in substrate-integrated waveguide technology is presented. Guidelines to design similar antennas are provided. The design has been done with the help of commercial software. The result is a low-cost, dir ...

Rock damage control in bedrock blasting excavation for a nuclear power plant

Jian Zhao

Drill and blast is a major method for bed rock excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. Under blasting excavation, blast-induced vibration propagates in rock mass and induces damage to surrounding rock. Studying the characteristics of wave propagatio ...

On heat transfer at microscale with implications for microactuator design

Michail Zervas, Yusuf Leblebici, Mustafa Yilmaz, Özgür Özsun

The dominance of conduction and the negligible effect of gravity, and hence free convection, are verified in the case of microscale heat sources surrounded by air at atmospheric pressure. A list of temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficients is provid ...

Modeling two-phase flows on moving domains

Matthias Preisig

Mudflows are catastrophic events that cause immense damage to infrastructure and life every year. Local authorities have been trying to mitigate the risk by zoning regulations as well as by building protection structures for many years. These measures have ...

Integral-equation analysis of 3-D metallic objects arranged in 2-D lattices using the Ewald transformation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Frédéric Bongard, Ivica Stevanovic, Pedro Crespo Valero, Katarina Blagovic

We present a space-domain integral-equation method for the analysis of periodic structures formed by three-dimensional metallic objects arranged in a general skewed two-dimensional lattice. The computation of the space-domain Green's function is accelerate ...

Application of Information Retrieval Technologies to Presentation Slides

Jean-Marc Odobez, Alessandro Vinciarelli

Presentations are becoming an increasingly more common means of communication in working environments, and slides are often the necessary supporting material on which the presentations rely. In this paper, we describe a slide indexing and retrieval system ...

Two-dimensional impedance imaging of cell migration and epithelial stratification

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, Thomas Michael Braschler, Olof Pontus Linderholm, Jonas Vannod

We present a miniaturized impedance imaging system, developed for 2D imaging of cell and tissue culture. The system is based on 16 microelectrodes (5 µm × 4 mm). An equivalent circuit for four-point (tetrapolar) impedance spectra was developed and validate ...
