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: A study of operational variable influencing wheel balancing measurements
Author: Nabar, Aneesh
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Automobiles--Design and construction, Mathematics
Description: The aim of this research is to analyze various operational parameters that may affect the wheel balancing measurement. Therefore, wheel balancing measurements were taken iteratively on different low profile wheel/tire assemblies for different cond...

Title: Chaos in Non-Euclidean Geometries Arising in Mechanics
Author: BHATTACHARYA, TAPOBRATA
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mechanics, Mathematics
Description: Chaotic systems are a class of nonlinear dynamical systems that have captured the attention of mathematicians and engineers for long. Even though chaotic systems are deterministic in nature, long term prediction of behavior of such systems is diff...

Title: ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND PATCHWISE REPRODUCING POLYNOMIAL PARTICLE METHOD FOR PLATES
Author: Kim, Hyunju
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mathematics
Description: Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a framework bridging the gap between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). So it drastically reduces the error in the representation of the computational domain and the re-meshing by the use ...

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: Quantification of Profile Measurement Data
Author: Javidpour, Farid
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mathematics, Civil engineering
Description: Parts with complicated freeform shapes have been attracting more attention in industrial applications in recent decades. In most systems, the functional performance of these parts is directly related to the conformity of their profile with the des...

Title: STUDY OF HYBRID STRATEGIES FOR MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION USING GRADIENT BASED METHODS AND EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS
Author: Paez Bautista, Diego
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mathematics
Description: Most of the optimization problems encountered in engineering have conflicting objectives. In order to solve these problems, genetic algorithms (GAs) and gradient-based methods are widely used. GAs are relatively easy to implement, because these al...

Title: Symmetry and Constraints in Hydrodynamics and Mechanical Locomotion
Author: Fairchild, Michael
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Robotics, Mathematics
Description: This dissertation introduces new models for the locomotion and control of mechanical and hydrodynamic systems that exhibit symmetry, constraints, and control. I introduce the class of unbalanced Chaplygin control systems and analyze the dynamics a...
