The Stress Field Surrounding the Tip of a Crack Propagating in a Finite Body
(1987)The goal of this dissertation was to establish the relationship between a parameter descriptive of the trajectory of a smoothly curving crack, such as the curvature of the crack path, and the local stress state in the ... -
Coupled Oscillator Arrays: Dynamics and Influence of Noise
(2021)Coupled oscillator arrays can be used to model several natural systems and engineering systems including mechanical systems. In this dissertation work, the influence of noise on the dynamics of coupled mono-stable oscillators ... -
STRAP CAPACITIVE SENSOR MEASUREMENTS OF ARM DEFORMATION CROSS SECTIONS FOR GESTURE RECOGNITION
(2021)Wearable Human Machine Interfaces (wHMI) for gesture recognition have the potential to enable and improve a variety of fields including virtual reality, prosthetics, assistive exoskeletons, and therapeutic robotics. ... -
Anisotropic Multi-scale Modeling for Steady-state Creep Behavior of Oligocrystalline SnAgCu (SAC) Solder Joints
(2021)Heterogeneous integration is leading to unprecedented miniaturization of solder joints. The overall size of solder interconnections in current-generation microelectronics assemblies has length-scales that are comparable ... -
Studies of Wildland Fires: Inclined Flame Instabilities and Fire Exposure to Structures
(2021)The present work investigates two aspects of the wildland fire problem: instabilities occurring in inclined laminar flames and the coupling between fire exposure and structure loss. The first study analyzes the structure ...
