Title: A MESHLESS METHOD WITH ENRICHED BASIS FUNCTIONS FOR SINGULARITY PROBLEMS
Author: Hong, Won-Tak
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mechanics, Mathematics
Description: For the last several decades, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been a powerful tool in solving challenging science and engineering problems, especially when solution domains have complex geometry. However the mesh refinements and construction o...

Title: BORON CARBIDE NANOWIRES: SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION
Author: Guan, Zhe
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Materials science
Description: Bulk boron carbide has been widely used in ballistic armored vest and the property characterization has been heavily focused on mechanical properties. Even though boron carbides have also been projected as a promising class of high temperature the...

Title: Binary Edwards Curves in Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Author: Enos, Graham
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mathematics
Description: Edwards curves are a new normal form for elliptic curves that exhibit some cryptographically desirable properties and advantages over the typical Weierstrass form. Because the group law on an Edwards curve (normal, twisted, or binary) is c...

Title: Consistency results in the theory of continuous functions and selective separability
Author: Barman, Doyel
Date Created: 2011
Subjects--Topical: Mathematics
Description: We study of the notion of selective separability(SS), which was introduced by Marion Scheepers, and its connection with the game-theoretic strengthening, strategically selective separable spaces (SS+). It is known that every set of ...

Title: DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL FACILITIES FOR INVESTIGATIONS OF VORTEX MACHINING
Author: Howard, Stephen
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: This dissertation presents work done in investigation of a novel polishing process called Vortex Machining. Vortex Machining uses an oscillating probe to induce vortices in a polishing slurry above a workpiece, thereby removing material in regions...

Title: Meshless boundary particle methods for boundary integral equations and meshfree particle methods for plates
Author: Davis, Christopher
Date Created: 2011
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mathematics
Description: For approximating the solution of partial differential equations (PDE), meshless methods have been introduced to alleviate the difficulties arising in mesh generation using the conventional Finite Element Method (FEM). Many meshless methods introd...

Title: On the Structure and Invariants of Cubical Complexes
Author: Birdsong, Sarah
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mathematics
Description: This dissertation introduces two new results for cubical complexes. The first is a simple statistic on noncrossing partitions that expresses each coordinate of the toric h-vector of a cubical complex, written in the basis of the Adin h-vector entr...

Title: The center and cyclicity problems in a family of three dimensional polynomial systems of ordinary differential equations.
Author: Hounkanli, Kokouvi
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mathematics
Description: This dissertation is mainly a study of the center problem in the context of a family of three dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations of the form· {u} = &minus v + P(u,v,w), · {v} = u+Q(u,v,w), · {w}=&minus &lambda...
