Qualitative Studies of Nonlinear Hybrid Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-14)A hybrid system is a dynamical system that exhibits both continuous and discrete dynamic behavior. Hybrid systems arise in a wide variety of important applications in diverse areas, ranging from biology to computer science ... -
Stochastic Stability of Flow-Induced Vibration
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-07)Flow-induced structural vibration is experienced in many engineering applications, such as aerospace industry and civil engineering infrastructures. One of the main mechanisms of flow-induced vibration is instability which ... -
Stochastic stability of viscoelastic systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-15)Many new materials used in mechanical and structural engineering exhibit viscoelastic properties, that is, stress depends on the past time history of strain, and vice versa. Investigating the behaviour of viscoelastic ...
