Dynamics and Control of Jumping Legged Robot
(2018-08-13)
This research aims to studying the agility of legged robots particularly their interactions with the ground and achieve a jumping motion by using an operational space controller.
Methods were developed to first formulate ...
UNDERDAMPED MOTION OF A MICROBEAD IN OPTICAL TWEEZER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE REYNOLDS NUMBER
(2018-12-06)
Optical tweezers can hold and manipulate microscopic objects with the use of a highly focused laser beam. The radiation pressure acting on the object is generally in the range of piconewtons and can be attractive or repulsive ...
Novel Roles of Standard and Non-standard Null Lagrangians in Classical and Quantum Physics
(2023-05-19)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 05/13/2024** ABSTRACT: The three known families of Lagrangians are standard, non-standard, and null Lagrangians. While Lagrangians are widely used in Physics for their ...
THE PERFORMANCE OF QUADRILATERAL ELEMENT WITH ROTATIONAL DEGREES OF FREEDOM IN STATICS AND DYNAMICS ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION
(2018-04-25)
Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used in structural analysis, and the standard approach to increase the accuracy of analysis is increasing the total degrees of freedom (DOFs), namely, refine the mesh. By introducing ...
A New Adaptive Multiscale Approach for the Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Biomolecular Systems
This dissertation presents three developments in the simulation of sub-micron dynamical systems. First, a new thermostat formulation is shown to strictly enforce the constant temperature constraint necessary in many ...
ANALYSIS OF A NANOPARTICLE’S DYNAMICS IN AN OPTICAL TWEEZER
(2023-12-14)
This work presents a simulation and experimental analysis of a nanoparticle's motion in an optical tweezer. Specifically, different simulation and analysis techniques are developed to investigate a suspected regime change ...
