Optimal mode localization in disordered, periodic structures
… slightly disordered undergo dramatic changes in mode shapes such that the responses go from being spatially extended to spatially localized. This phenomenon called mode localization, offers an excellent option for passive vibration isolation. In the first part of the thesis, we provide analytical …

Analytical amd experimental aspects of nonlinear normal modes and nonlinear mode localization
In this work, several aspects of nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) and free and forced nonlinear mode localization are investigated. In the first phase of the work, new asymptotic methodologies based on the concept of NNM are developed in order to compute synchronous responses for two classes of …

MEMS MULTI-DOF WEAKLY COUPLED RESONATOR BASED ON MODE LOCALIZATION FOR MASS CHANGE SENSING APPLICATIONS
… explores the potential of a 3-DOF mode localized weakly coupled resonator. A novel reversible method which exploits the usage of nanoparticles as well quantified mass changes is described. The mass sensitivity of the coupled resonator can be characterized accordingly. It has been …

Free and Forced Vibration of Linearly Elastic and St. Venant-Kirchhoff Plates using the Third Order Shear and Normal Deformable Theory
… of the time period of the first bending mode of vibration of a plate. For arbitrary spatial distributions of loads applied to monolithic and laminated orthotropic plates, we show that plates' vibrations become miniscule after the load is removed. We call this phenomenon as vibration …
