Influence assessment of physical and geographical conditions for flat terrain on flight visibility [PDF]
Introduction. A flight visibility model is presented that takes into account the nature of the underlying surface, the height of the flat terrain, and the dynamics of the aircraft flight due to changes in altitude and ground speed during aerial work ...

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Crack-Depth Prediction in Steel Based on Cooling Rate
One criterion for the evaluation of surface cracks in steel welds is to analyze the depth of the crack, because it is an effective indicator of its potential risk.

Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces
A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.

La forme de l’écrit: Comment les lettres s’adaptent aux contraintes de notre cognition [bande dessinée] [PDF]
Historiens et épigraphistes observent la forme des lettres pour identifier des manuscrits ou pour comprendre la trajectoire d’un système d’écriture. On peut aussi scruter lettres et caractères pour faire émerger une histoire plus ancienne : celle du ...
