Designing-in of Quality Through Axiomatic Design
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1995-06)
Decisions made during the design
stage of product & process development profoundly affect product
quality and process productivity. To aid in design decision making,
a theoretical framework is advanced: the axiomatic ...
Mechanics of nonlinear short-wave generation by a moored near-surface buoy
(Cambridge University Press, 1999)
We consider the nonlinear interaction problem of surface waves with a tethered
near-surface buoy. Our objective is to investigate mechanisms for nonlinear short
surface wave generation in this complete coupled wave-buoy-cable ...
Simultaneous Measurements of Actin Filament Turnover, Filament Fraction, and Monomer Diffusion in Endothelial Cells
(Biophysical Society, 1998-09)
The analogous techniques of photoactivation of fluorescence (PAF) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching
(FRAP) have been applied previously to the study of actin dynamics in living cells. Traditionally, ...
American Society for Echocardiography Software Suite for Verification and
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1995)
The imminent balloting of the draft DICOM 3.0 module
on ultrasound represents a major step forward in the
progress of digital storage formats for
echocardiography. In this paper, we discuss a software
suite soon to be ...
Robust Control For Underwater Vehicle Systems With Time Delays
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1991)
Presented in this paper is a robust control scheme for
controlling systems with time delays. The scheme is based on the Smith
controller and the LQG/LTR (Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Loop Transfer
Recovery) methodology. ...
Drag reduction in fish-like locomotion
(Cambridge University Press, 1999)
We present experimental force and power measurements demonstrating that the power
required to propel an actively swimming, streamlined, fish-like body is significantly
smaller than the power needed to tow the body straight ...
Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)
Thrust-producing harmonically oscillating foils are studied through force and power
measurements, as well as visualization data, to classify the principal characteristics of
the flow around and in the wake of the foil. ...
Interpreting Photoactive Fluorescence Microscopy Measurements of Steady-State Actin Dynamics
(Biophysical Society, 1995)
A continuum model describing the steady-state actin dynamics of the cytoskeleton of living cells Has been
developed to aid in the interpretation of photoactivated fluorescence experiments. In a simplified cell geometry, ...
Vortical patterns behind a tapered cylinder oscillating transversely
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)
Visualization studies of the flow behind an oscillating tapered cylinder are performed
at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 1500. The cylinder has taper ratio 40:1 and is
moving at constant forward speed U while being forced ...
Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)
Forces are measured at both ends of rigid cylinders with span 60 cm, performing
transverse oscillations within an oncoming stream of water, at Reynolds number
Re ~3800. Forced harmonic motions and free vibrations of ...
