(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Hurricanes, powerful storms with wind speeds that can exceed 80 m/s, are one of the most destructive natural disasters known to man. While current satellite technology has made it possible to effectively detect and track ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Ankle mechanical impedance, which is a dynamic relationship between angular displacement and the corresponding torque at the ankle joint, plays a key role in natural interaction of the lower-extremity with the environment. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nascent blood vessel growth in angiogenesis is a complex process involving cellular response to biochemical growth factors, degradation of the surrounding matrix, and coordinated migration of multiple endothelial cells up ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Electronic structure problems in solids usually involve repetitive determination of quantities of interest, evaluation of which requires the solution of an underlying partial differential equation. We present in this thesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In modern engineering and scientific applications there is a huge demand for solutions of parameter-based partial differential equations and associated outputs of interest expressed as functionals of these solutions. Areas ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)An efficient and reliable method for the prediction of outputs of interest of partial differential equations with affine parameter dependence is presented. To achieve efficiency we employ the reduced-basis method: a weighted ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)An experimental study was performed to investigate strategies for reducing cold start hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from port fuel injected (PFI) spark ignition (SI) engines with better use of existing hardware and control ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In an attempt to explore an alternative to today's robot actuators, a new approach to artificial muscle actuator design and control is presented. The objective of this research is to coordinate the multitude of artificial ...
