Numerical models built as virtual-twins of a real structure (digital-twins) are considered the
future of monitoring systems. Their setup requires the estimation of unknown parameters …

Solid state sintering is a common process for additive manufacturing (AM), which is often
simulated with the phase field method. However, high computational cost limits the …

The aim of this paper is to leverage the main surface topological descriptors to classify tape
surface profiles, through the modelling of the evolution of the degree of intimate contact …

A necessity in the design of a path planning algorithm is to account for the environment. If
the movement of the mobile robot is through a dynamic environment, the algorithm needs to …

One of the most important goals in civil engineering is to guarantee the safety of the
construction. Standards prescribe a required failure probability in the order of 10^-4 10-4 to …

A novel algorithm called the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) is widely used by the
engineering community to compute the solution of high dimensional problems. However, it is …

Propeller shafts of the vehicle's drive transmit a torque to relatively large distances. The
shafts are basically long and slender and must be dimensioned not only in terms of torsional …

One of the main challenges regarding our civil infrastructure is the efficient operation over
their complete design lifetime while complying with standards and safety regulations. Thus …

La présente thèse à pour sujet la topologie numérique pour les systèmes mécaniques. Nous
traitons de l'analyse, de la caractérisation et de l'exploitation des données à fort contenu …

One of the most important goals in civil engineering is to guaranty the safety of constructions.
National standards prescribe a required failure probability in the order of 10− 6 (eg DIN EN …
