Nonsmooth Dynamics in Two Interacting, Impacting Pendula
… This thesis follows from existing non-linear dynamics research on forced pendula, impacting systems (such as a bouncing ball) and doubly impacting systems (ball bouncing on top of a bouncing ball).</p>

Modeling and Simulation of MEMS Devices
… and simulation tools for impact microactuators. Nonsmooth dynamics due to impacts and friction are studied, combining various approaches, including direct numerical integration, root-finding technique for periodic motions, continuation of grazing periodic orbits, and local analysis of the near …
