Vers une poétique culturelle du sonore science-fictionnel
ReS FuturaeLong studied primarily through its verbal and visual expressions, science fiction fully harnesses sound to evoke effects of estrangement and familiarity that contribute to the sensory, cognitive, and affective construction of its narratives and worlds ...

Que voulons-nous dire quand nous parlons de « science-fiction mondiale » ?
ReS Futurae, 2013 Les transformations économiques et politiques du régime mondialisé ont ébranlé les conditions utilisées jusqu'à un passé récent pour définir les nations, les cultures, et la science-fiction elle-même.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates laser‐based oxide removal of Cu inserts in oxygen‐free conditions and examines long‐term oxidation kinetics and surface chemistry under different atmospheres via X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Al–Cu compound casting with differently oxidized surfaces is performed, and intermetallic phase formation, morphology, and thermal ...

Survival of the Fixed-est: Alien Invasion of Human Identity in Octavia Butler\u27s Dawn [PDF]
, 2018 While many definitions for science fiction have been offered over the years since the genre’s inception, Robert A. Heinlein’s definition, with its easy-to-follow five-point format, remains one of the most specific and comprehensive. Heinlein argues that,

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

, 2014 When discussing science fiction’s relationship with architecture, the usual practice is to look at the architecture “in” science fiction—in particular, the architecture in SF films (see Kuhn 75-143) since the spaces of literary SF present obvious ...

A Knowledge‐Based Approach for Understanding and Managing Additive Manufacturing Data
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Additive manufacturing processes generate a large amount of data. Effectively managing, understanding, and retrieving information from this data remains a major challenge. Therefore, we propose an ontology‐based approach to integrate heterogeneous data, enable semantic queries, and support decision‐making.

A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...
