On the development of an efficient truly meshless discretization procedure in computational mechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The objective of this thesis is to present an efficient and reliable meshless computational technique - the method of finite spheres - for the solution of boundary value problems on complex domains. This method is truly ...
Combining adaptive and designed statistical experimentation : process improvement, data classification, experimental optimization and model building
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Research interest in the use of adaptive experimentation has returned recently. This historic technique adapts and learns from each experimental run but requires quick runs and large effects. The basis of this renewed ...
Molecular mechanics of cartilage : quantification of GAG electrostatic interactions via high-resolution force spectroscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Intermolecular repulsion forces between negatively charged glycosaminoglycan (CS-GAG) macromolecules are a major determinant of cartilage biomechanical properties. It is thought that the electrostatic component of the total ...
