Modeling of frame structures undergoing large deformations and large rotations
<p>Numerical simulation of large-scale problems in structural dynamics, such as structures subject to extreme loads, can provide useful insights into structural behavior while minimizing the need for expensive experimental testing for the same. These types of problems are highly non-linear and …

A mixed computational algorithm based on the updated Lagrangian description for plane elastic contact problems
… developed for an arbitrary plane body undergoing large deformations (i.e. large displacements, large rotations and small strains) under external loads using the updated Lagrangian formulation. The mixed finite element formulation allows the nodal displacements and stresses to be approximated …

Determining Upper Extremity Posture Using a Simplified Marker Configuration for Biomechanical Risk Evaluation during Tool Use
… their great freedom of motion, which allows for large rotations in multiple directions. The Euler and quaternion methods, which are two commonly used methods for describing joint angles and body segment postures and movement, have great limitations when dealing with upper extremities. The planar …

The 3D in-situ stress field and its changes in geothermal reservoirs
… the resulting local stress state is subject to large uncertainties that confine the significance of the findings. In addition, temporal variations of the in-situ stress field are naturally or anthropogenically induced. In my thesis I address these challenges in three manuscripts that investigate …

Efficient and Robust ADMM Methods for Dynamics and Geometry Optimization
… solvers such as ADMM struggle to resolve large rotations such as bending and twisting modes, and large distortions in the presence of barrier energies. We propose two improvements to address these challenges. First, we introduce a novel local-global splitting based on the polar …

Thin-walled composite deployable booms with tape-spring hinges
… may involves buckling of the tape springs and large rotations of the boom; and vibration of the boom in the latched configuration. The second phase is the most critical as the boom can fold backwards and hence interfere with other spacecraft components. A geometric optimisation study was …

Guidance and Control of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems for Maritime Operations
… it is expected that the vehicle will undergo large rotations, the tailsitter's orientation is captured using quaternions, which are singularity-free. Furthermore, the windup phenomenon is addressed by employing barrier Lyapunov functions to ensure that the first component of the tracking error …
