Fall 2009
This thesis is concerned with the analysis of the control design to the nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs). Ignoring the network connection and cascading actuators, the plant and sensors together, a sampled-data system is obtained. The stabilization problem of nonlinear sampled-data...

Floquet Defect Mode Resonance and its Applications in Nonlinear, Quantum and Active Topological Silicon Photonics
DownloadSpring 2024
Topological photonic insulators are photonic quantum metamaterials whose transmission bands and bandgaps are characterized by certain topological invariants, which remain unchanged in the presence of lattice disorders. This resistance to defects has been exploited to realize integrated photonic...

Fall 2017
In this thesis we present Particle-in-Cell (PIC) plasma simulations designed to model large amplitude whistler waves. There are significant nonlinear effects that arise due wave-wave and wave-particle interactions. There are two related sections to this report: one investigating the evolution of...

Spring 2012
Experimentally-validated nonlinear flight control of a helicopter UAV has two necessary conditions: an estimate of the vehicle’s states from noisy multirate output measurements, and a nonlinear dynamics model with minimum complexity, physically controllable inputs and experimentally identified...

Spring 2010
Internal gravity waves grow in amplitude as they propagate upwards in a non-Boussinesq fluid and weakly nonlinear effects develop due to interactions with an induced horizontal mean flow. In this work, a new derivation for this wave-induced mean flow is presented and nonlinear Schrodinger...

Simplified seismic design methods for low-ductile steel multi-tiered concentrically braced frames
DownloadFall 2020
Multi-Tiered Concentrically Braced Frames (MT-CBFs) represent a bracing configuration where two or more concentric braced panels are stacked between the storey levels in multi-storey buildings or between the ground and roof levels in single-storey buildings such as sports facilities, airplane...

Fall 2014
Speed effects on moving cracks in ductile or nonlinear materials are studied with newly developed theoretical models in the present thesis. Speed-dependent stress field, traction distribution and fracture energy are discussed in detail in four chapters. 1) An asymptotic analysis near the tip of a...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
