Description
Taylor’s blast wave theory was the first of its kind and focused on the dynamics and thermodynamics of spherical blast waves. Taylor’s model was stated as a similarity solution and determined the time-dependent blast radius, as well as the radiall...

Description
Viscous phenomena can be used to aid in the locomotion and control of robotic systems. With the aid of Lagrangian reduction techniques, it is shown that dissipation can be used to model nonholonomic, holonomic, and kinematically constrained system...
