Longitudinal forces in continuously welded rails due to nonlinear track-bridge interaction for loading sequences
… this thesis is the load due to a change of the coupling stiffness in longitudinal direction between the track and bridge. This additional load occurs as a consequence of the employment of a nonlinear stiffness law which increases the restoring force by a factor of 3 when the situation of the …

Design of a low-cost meso-scale, detachable fixturing system for probe-based nanomanufacturing equipment and instruments
… pen nanolithography. A ball and groove kinematic coupling design was modified by the addition of flexural hinges to reduce the offset of friction on the coupling interface, thereby improving repeatability. A prototype fixturing assembly was fabricated and tested for repeatability in six degrees of …

Redesign of the platform-side actuation system for the Kendall Band interactive musical sculpture
… overall durability, including a kinematic coupling with a spring-loaded interface that decouples actuation above a torque threshold of 225 in-lbf. Additionally, the newly designed actuation system has been standardized across all three instruments to simplify maintenance of the sculpture by …

Novel photonic phenomena in nanostructured material systems with applications and mid-range efficient insensitive wireless energy-transfer
… and the broadband mode-matching across the coupling interface, for large-bandwidth butt-coupled devices. Moreover, a hybrid plasmonic-dielectric material platform is introduced, able to localize light counter intuitively in low-index regions, by employing the unique subwavelength and cutoff …

STIM Protein Coupling Domains and The Activation of Orai Channels
… plasma membrane (PM) Orai Ca2+ channels. The coupling of STIM proteins and Orai Ca2+ entry channels generates “store-operated” Ca2+ signals crucial in controlling responses in many cell types. In this study, we reveal critical differences in the function of the short STIM-Orai activating …

Consistent description of radiation damping in transient soil-structure interaction
… of freedom arise from the discretization of the coupling interface, internal variables from the splitting procedure and from modeling the structure. The new method is especially suitable for systems with transient excitations as arising from rotating machines at startup and shutdown. The …

A Software Framework for Implementation and Evaluation of Co-Simulation Algorithms
… their own internal integrator, hidden from the coupling interface. Co-Simulation is an interesting and active research field where industry is a driving force. The problems where co-simulation is an interesting approach is two-fold. On one-hand, there is the coupling of sub-systems between …

Integrated silicon photonic two-dimensional grating couplers
… electric (TE) polarization. A Si photonic coupling interface is thus required to deliver polarization handling capabilities as well. A favored component for a simple interfacing is the diffraction grating coupler (GC). In its most basic, one-dimensional implementation, a silicon waveguide …

Extinction in turbulent swirling non-premixed flames
… developed CMC code is assessed. The runtime data coupling interface between the 3D-CMC and LES solvers is designed and the different solvers developed during the course of this research are detailed. The aerodynamics of two swirling non-reacting flows from the Sydney and Cambridge burners are …

The development and application of a simultaneous two-way coupled, discrete element method and smoothed particle hydrodynamic model for spatial scale-up dynamics of laboratory vertical stirred media detritors
… their interaction forces through a two-way coupling interface. The simultaneous nature of the model provides a significant reduction in the simulation runtime and the feasible SPH resolution. Additionally, a methodology to model media shapes as super quadric surfaces is developed and …
