Cutting a material
what are the main material properties a substrate should have if you want to be able to cut through it nicely and have a clean cut? I know a little bit about cutting tools but not much about the substrate?
PhD course - "Probability-Informed Wind Engineering against Synoptic and Non-Synoptic Wind Hazards", Prof. Luca Caracoglia (UniGe Visiting Prof)
It is with great pleasure that I announce that from mid-May
Prof. Luca Caracoglia (Northeastern University, Boston MA, USA)
will be UniGe Visiting Professor.
During the visiting period, starting from 17 May, Prof. Caracoglia will hold a PhD course entitled
"Probability-Informed Wind Engineering against Synoptic and Non-Synoptic Wind Hazards".
All information is contained in the attached file.
Those interested in participating are invited to write to me.
Thank you very much for the attention,
kindest regards

Data-Driven State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Universal Feature Selection
A simple yet effective health indicator (HI)-based data-driven model forecasting the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus enabling their efficient management is developed. Five HIs with high physical significance and predictive power extracted from voltage, current, and temperature profiles are used as model inputs. The generalizability and robustness of the proposed ridge regression–based linear regularization model are assessed using three NASA datasets containing information on the behavior of batteries over a wide range of temperatures and discharge rates.
