The goal of this research is to model an “activity” performed by a group of moving and interacting objects (which can be people or cars or robots or different rigid components of the human body) and use these models for abnormal activity
Wireless communications has gained great popularity over the past decades. The wireless medium has many unique characteristics, which create new challenges as well as new opportunities in the communication problem. This thesis is devoted to the study of the ultimate performance limits
We consider one challenging problem in establishing a Free Space Optical (FSO) network. In our model, it is assumed that each node is a base station and its number of transceivers is limited. Such a network can be abstracted by a graph
The drive to increase circuit density with smaller PWB geometries and higher layer counts in multi-layer boards along with the increasing use of electronics in harsh environments for high reliability and safety critical applications (automotive, avionics, medical, military) have made short circuiting
Models are the medium by which we reflect and express our understanding of some aspect of reality, a particular unknown of interest. As it is virtually impossible to grasp any situation in its entire complexity, models are representations of reality that are
The trend of low voltage in electronics circuits and boards makes them vulnerable to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Furthermore, higher speed (clock rate) leads to faster switching which increases the potential for higher radiation from circuits and boards. These inevitable trends collectively compromise
Aircraft aging has become an immense challenge in terms of ensuring the safety of the fleet while controlling life cycle costs. One of the major concerns in aircraft structures is the development of fatigue cracks in the fastener holes. A probabilistic-based method
Within this work, the nonlinear oscillations of various beam-like structures are studied. Methods are developed to analyze systems of this type to better understand their behavior in order to utilize the nonlinear phenomena associated with them and to provide insights for device
Heat exchangers play an important role in a variety of energy conversion applications. They have a significant impact on the energy efficiency, cost, size, and weight of energy conversion systems. CoilDesigner is a software program introduced by Jiang (2003) for simulating and
The numerical analysis of transient phenomena in solids, for instance, wave propagation and structural dynamics, is a very important and active area of study in engineering. Despite the current evolutionary state of modern computer hardware, practical analysis of large scale, nonlinear transient
