Modeling and simulation of bird flapping flight :...

For the degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Technology Birds have always been a source of inspiration for humans. From the record distances crossed by the bar-tailed godwit during its migrations, to swifts staying aloft continuously for up to ten months, they are capable of...

Multiscale thermo-mechanical modeling of...

For the degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Technology Semi-crystalline polymers exhibit performances that are highly dependent on their micro-structure as induced by the thermo-mechanical processes they are subjected to. In this thesis we developed a multiscale modeling and...

Modeling dissipative multi-scale systems with...

This talk will present modeling approaches for problems where the dissipative (far-from equilibrium) processes operating at the microscope are tightly coupled with the response of the macro scale, thereby prohibiting asymptotic homogenization and scale separation to be valid. An alternative...

Action Semantics for Robot Perception, Learning, and...

Robots require a generic action representation in order to recognize, learn, and imitate observed tasks without any human intervention. Defining such a representation is a challenging problem due to the high inter-individual variability that emerges during the execution of actions. Conventional...
