From Nanostructure to Infrastructure

From Nanostructure to Infrastructure: Nano Particle Reinforced Composites for Critical Infrastructure Protection.

Bifurcations and Tipping Points of the Earth's Climate

Earth's climate can be viewed as a large dynamical system evolving in time.

Our typical project is one we have never done before!

Prospect's niche is its ability to go back to first principles and use these, often combined with cutting edge computational mechanics, to solve its clients' problems and give them engineering answers they can use directly. This presentation will demonstrate, using two examples, the diversity of the engineering challenges Prospect's...

Large deformations of inextensible sheets: Möbius strips and helical nanoribbons

I will present a new set of geometrically-exact equilibrium equations for the deformation of thin inextensible strips of finite width.

Near Grazing Dynamics of Piecewise Linear Oscillators

Impacts in mechanical systems are ubiquitous.

Dynamics of Coin Tossing Is Predictable

The dynamics of the tossed coin can be described by deterministic equations of motion, but on the other hand it is commonly taken for granted that the toss of a coin is random.

ON THE CRUSHING OF OPEN-CELL FOAMS

Polynomial matrix factorization for broadband adaptive signal processing

This talk will outline some of my recent research into techniques for factorizing polynomial matrices.

SD Oscillators: Current State and Future Research Prospects

A higher gradient theory for solid mixtures and its application to microelectronic materials
