(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Internal gravity waves are propagating disturbances in a stably stratified fluid. Ubiquitous in geophysical systems, they have significant impact on both fundamental processes and engineering applications. In the ocean, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Present-day expeditionary oceanography is beginning to shift from a focus on short-term ship and submersible deployments to an ocean observatory mode where long-term temporally-focused studies are feasible. As a result, a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Describing transport in fluid flows has been a long-standing challenge in dynamical systems theory, with applications to industrial and natural flows. The detection of Lagrangian structures that stay coherent over time ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis explores various Lagrangian methods for simulating ballistic impact with the ultimate goal of finding a universal, robust and scalable computational framework to assist in the design of armor systems. An overview ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Transverse jets form a dominant group of flow fields arising in many applications of modern energy utilization, including propulsion and effluent dispersion. Furthermore, they form canonical examples where the flow field ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Landmines and mine-like traps are effective weapons that are difficult to detect and discriminate from a safe distance. The ability to detect landmines in their host environment at a distance and to discriminate them from ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A study into the field of humanitarian landmine removal was conducted; with significant attention devoted to an in depth review of existing removal technologies, as well as alternative detection methods. A design proposal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The development of powerful and efficient artificial muscles that mimic Nature will profoundly affect engineering sciences including robotics and prosthetics, propulsion systems, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Amorphous polymers are important engineering materials; however, their nonlinear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent elastic-viscoplastic behavior is still not very well understood, and is modeled by existing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Conducting polymers are a promising class of electroactive materials that undergo volumetric changes under applied potentials, which make them particularly useful for many actuation applications. Polypyrrole , is one of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)High efficiency, low emissions and stable operation over a wide range of conditions are some of the key requirements of modem-day combustors. To achieve these objectives, lean premixed flames are generally preferred as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Due to the limited displacement of piezoelectric stack actuators, common practice is to use some form of displacement amplification mechanism. An efficient, heavy-duty displacement amplification mechanism for piezoelectric ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The electronic-photonic integrated circuit (EPIC) has emerged as a leading technology to surpass the interconnect bottlenecks that threaten to limit the progress of Moore's Law in microprocessors. Compared to conventional ...
