High-Velocity Microparticle Impact for Analytical Modelling of High-Strain-Rate Mechanics and Material Behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)A recent optical technique for conducting and observing high-velocity micron-scale impacts against various materials is the focus of this work. This technique, the laser-induced particle impact test (LIPIT), is capable of ... -
High-voltage wideband switching amplifier for capacitive loads
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Why is it that arbitrarily driving imaginary loads has always required lots of power? In this thesis, a highly efficient switching amplifier class is developed that is capable of delivering energy to, as well as taking ... -
Higher asymptotics of the complex Monge-Ampère equation and geometry of CR-manifolds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Higher canonical asymptotics of Kähler-Einstein metrics on quasi-projective manifolds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis, we derive the asymptotic expansion of the Kiihler-Einstein metrics on certain quasi-projective varieties, which can be compactified by adding a divisor with simple normal crossings. The weighted Cheng-Yau ... -
Higher education online: a comparative analysis of online programs for free university-level education
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The advent of online education programs has made university-level course material available to anyone with an internet connection. Top universities across the United States have begun offering online versions of their ... -
Higher harmonic blade pitch control : a system for helicopter vibration reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Higher levels of the transmon qubit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis discusses recent experimental work in measuring the properties of higher levels in transmon qubit systems. The first part includes a thorough overview of transmon devices, explaining the principles of the device ... -
Higher limits via subgroup complexes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Higher occupancy humanism : the trade-offs for encouraging middle income housing in a global city
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In high density urban areas where the land acquisition and construction cost components are significant relative to total development costs, the market typically supplies a high-income housing product in order to justify ... -
Higher order asymptotic inference in remote sensing of oceanic and planetary environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An inference method based on higher order asymptotic expansions of the bias and covariance of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) is used to investigate the accuracy of parameter estimates obtained from remote sensing ... -
A higher order closure turbulence model of the planetary boundary layer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Higher order laminated composite plate analysis by hybrid finite element method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
Higher-dimensional computational models of perceptual grouping and silhouette analysis and representation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the following thesis, I describe the investigation of two problems related to the organization and structural analysis of visual information: perceptual grouping and silhouette analysis and representation. For the problem ... -
Higher-Order Automatic Differentiation and Its Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Differentiable programming is a new paradigm for modeling and optimization in many fields of science and engineering, and automatic differentiation (AD) algorithms are at the heart of differentiable programming. Existing ... -
Higher-order Fourier analysis with applications to additive combinatorics and theoretical computer science
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Fourier analysis has been used for over one hundred years as a tool to study certain additive patterns. For example, Vinogradov used Fourier-analytic techniques (known in this context as the Hardy-Littlewood circle method) ... -
A higher-order method for large-amplitude simulations of bodies in waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)In this thesis, we simulate large-amplitude motion of three-dimensional bodies in waves using a higher-order boundary element method. A 'geometry-independent' approach is adopted in which the representation of the body ... -
A higher-order panel method for third-harmonic diffraction problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
The highest and best use assessment of an adaptive reuse development : a former Agere Systems campus redevelopment plan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Fix it up or give it up and start over? This interviews and case studies based research was conducted to determine important factors in a successful adaptive reuse development and applied them to a sizable and well maintained ... -
Highland Park : a development plan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Highly - conductive cathode for lithium-ion battery using M13 phage - SWCNT complex
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in portable electronics, and the rapid growth of mobile technology calls for an improvement in battery capabilities. Reducing the particle size of electrode materials in synthesis ...
