An efficiency assessment of selected unconstrained minimization techniques as applied to nonlinear structure analyses
… with the conventional techniques of nonlinear structural analysis. With this in mind, the author has attempted to critically evaluate a few of the more commonly used algorithms for their effectiveness in solving structural problems involving geometric and/or material nonlinearities. …

Multi-axial real-time hybrid simulation framework for testing nonlinear structure systems with multiple boundary interfaces
… testing approach that partitions a proposed structure into numerical and physical substructures, for a space- and cost-effective testing method. Structural elements that are expected to remain in the linear elastic range are usually modeled numerically, while computationally intractable …

The dynamic relationship between commercial real estate and stock markets
… in the context of macroeconomy. Linear and nonlinear, parametric and nonparametric testing methodologies were adopted to test for the linear and nonlinear relationship between the two significant asset markets. An initial examination of the distributional traits for various series throughout …

Nonlinear and non-modal stability of structures evolving in shear flows
… a range of stability techniques applied to fluid structures that develop in various constant density flows. In particular, the stability of nonlinear structures which develop in rotating plane Couette flow is analyzed using Floquet theory, which allows the global stability of an important …

Engaging Audiences in the 21st Century: A Case Study for Immersive Theatre
… in the narrative. For this project, I used the nonlinear structure of the play BRIGHT HALF LIFE to my advantage by turning it into an immersive walkthrough experience in Lampasas Hall. Each scene was put on loop in a different room, requiring active participation from the audience by asking them …

Product perceptual mapping on fashion designs with Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder and triplet loss
… particularly in capturing the highly nonlinear structure in product perceptual categories. Therefore, given only a set of images and triplet data representing product co-occurence by consumers, we propose and use a Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder (GMVAE) with triplet loss to …

Nonlinear Vibrations of Cantilever Beams and Plates
A study of the nonlinear vibrations of metallic cantilever beams and plates subjected to transverse harmonic excitations is presented. Both experimental and theoretical results are presented. The primary focus is however on the transfer of energy between widely spaced modes via modulation. This …

Single Cell Biomechanical Phenotyping using Microfluidics and Nanotechnology
… phenotype, including changes in cell structure, morphology, and responses to microenvironmental stress. These alterations result in an increased deformability of transformed cells and reduced resistance to mechanical stimuli, enabling motility and invasion. Therefore, single cell …

Structure-property relationships in polymeric materials via advanced rheological and neutron scattering techniques
… no straightforward path linking underlying microstructure. To this end, in this thesis, we aim to unveil the transient nonlinear structure-property correlation in polymeric materials in both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. We approach the topic by developing an analysis framework that …
