Local Monotonicity in Optimal Design.
(1984)
In design optimization, there usually exists a large number of inequality constraints, many of them satisfied as equalities at the optimum (active). The method of monotonicity was developed to identify these active constraints ...
Investigation of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes Under Cyclic Bending and Buckling.
(1987)
In recent years cold-formed rectangular tubular bracing members have become popular for steel structures in seismic regions. It is known that these bracing members can provide considerable strength and lateral stiffness ...
Robustness and Stability in the Detection and Estimation of Parameterized Signals in Noise.
(1985)
A problem which often arises in statistical signal processing is the detection of a parameterized signal in noise, and the estimation of the parameter value. This thesis is concerned with such problems when models for the ...
Stimulated Scattering and Nonlinear Optics.
(1980)
This thesis deals with nonlinearities in the radiation field relevant to laser fusion. To describe the radiation field we use the photon transport theory which we believe, has some advantages: mathematical simplicity, ...
Signal Detection and Parameter Identification with Application to Underwater Acoustics (Periodic R and om Sequences, Extended M-Orthogonal).
(1986)
A problem of passive detection of underwater moving acoustic sources is formulated. It is found that solving the exact problem, when a multipath acoustic propagation environment is assumed, is fairly difficult. Keeping the ...
Seismic Analysis and Design Considerations of Braced Steel Structures.
(1987)
This study deals with dynamic analysis and earthquake resistance of concentrically braced steel structures. The main objectives are to assess the safety level and damage potential of buildings designed according to the ...
Reduced order estimation with application to aided navigation of the motion of a flexible vehicle.
(1988)
Reduced-order estimation of the states of a system with both stable and unstable modes is considered. A problem of aided navigation of the motion of a flexible vehicle with one rigid body degree-of-freedom and n flexible ...
Electrostatic Elastomer Devices for Reconfigurable High-Density Microfluidics.
(2008)
Components and systems for the scalable, very large-scale integration (VLSI) of thousands of microfluidic devices into Micro Total Analysis Systems (μTAS) are the fo-cus of much ongoing research. Most solutions to date ...
Heat transfer enhancement and two-phase fluid dynamics of dilute polymer solutions: I. Axisymmetric viscous flow theory and its applications to nucleate pool boiling hydrodynamics. II. Adiabatic vertical two-phase flow at low volumetric qualities.
(1988)
The two-dimensional axisymmetric incompressible viscous flow equations in general orthogonal coordinates using the Stokesian stream function and vorticity were derived for the general case. This form of the Navier-Stokes ...
Model Based Principal Component Analysis with Application to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2007)
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has allowed better understanding
of human brain organization and function by making it possible to record either
autonomous or stimulus induced brain activity. After appropriate ...
