A numerical study of flow-structure interactions with application to flow past a pair of cylinders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Flow-structure interaction is a generic problem for many engineering applications, such as flow--induced oscillations of marine risers and cables. In this thesis a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) approach based on ...
Prediction of ductile crack formation in uncracked bodies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
One of the important challenges facing the scientific and engineering community is the development of a reliable computational tool for predicting failure of structures under extreme and/or accidental loads. Considered in ...
Structures, statistics and mechanisms of low Froude number free-surface turbulence : a simulation-based study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Combinatorial algorithms for stacking problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
Nonlinear cable dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
Natural modes and impulsive motions of a horizontal shallow sag cable
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
Nonlinear motion of the free surface near a moving body
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
Non-linear corrections to the linear theory for the prediction of the cavitating flow around hydrofoils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
A method for the design of a class of optimum marine propulsors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
Modeling of shell forming by line heating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Metal forming by a moving heat source is an efficient and economical method for forming flat metal plates into doubly curved shapes. This thesis proposes an FEM model for three dimensional thermo-mechanical simulation of ...
