Large displacement FEM modelling of the cone penetration test (CPT) in normally consolidated sand
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-06)
A new finite element model based on a large strain formulation has been developed to study cone penetration in normally consolidated sand. An auto-adaptive remeshing technique was utilized for handling the very large ...
Synthetic Strategies and Parameters Involved in the Synthesis of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides According to the Phosphoramidite Method
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Plenum, 2000-02)
The phosphoramidite approach has had a major impact on the synthesis of oligonucleotides. This unit describes parameters that affect the performance of this method for preparing oligodeoxyribonucleotides, as well as a ...
Picosecond X-ray diffraction studies of laser-excited acoustic phonons in InSb
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-10)
We have employed time-resolved X-ray diffraction with picosecond temporal resolution to measure the time-dependent rocking curves of laser-irradiated asymmetrically cut single InSb crystals. Coherent acoustic phonons were ...
Novel Foot Orthosis
(2006-12)
The objective of this design project is to implement a device capable of resting the posterior Thetibialis tendon (for less advanced stages of PTT), or (for more advanced cases) to perform the functions of the tendon by ...
Micro-mechanical deformation mechanisms in the fracture of hybrid-particulate composites based on glass beads, rubber and epoxies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2000-12)
Two tougheners, glass beads and carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN), are used to toughen and stiffen an epoxy thermoset. Rubber-encapsulated glass beads are used and the hybrid particulate composites ...
Monte Carlo computations of hypersonic interacting flows

PSPACE-completeness of Modular Supervisory Control Problems*
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-06)
In this paper we investigate computational issues associated with the supervision of concurrent processes modeled as modular discrete-event systems. Here, modular discrete-event systems are sets of deterministic finite-state ...
Λ-Dynamics free energy simulation methods
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-08)
Free energy calculations are fundamental to obtaining accurate theoretical estimates of many important biological phenomena including hydration energies, protein-ligand binding affinities and energetics of conformational ...
Quantitative evaluation of powder spray effects on stereovision measurements
(2008)
"The effects of powder spray on surface topography and gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) of a stereovision measurement system are investigated for specular machined components. Results obtained in the micro-scale ...
