Synthesis of electrical and mechanical networks of restricted complexity
… the synthesis of linear passive electrical and mechanical networks. The main objective is to gain a better understanding of minimal realisations within the simplest non-trivial class of networks of restricted complexity--the networks of the so-called "Ladenheim catalogue"--and thence establish …

Analysis of Lossless-Adjustable One-Ports: Experimental Testing, Modelling and Optimal Control
… studying lossless-adjustable elements and the networks that contain them. First, the optimal control theory is developed for a generic mechanical network that contains lossless-adjustable elements. By exploiting a specific form of a block state-space representation, which is found for the class …

On the Synthesis of Passive Networks without Transformers
… is concerned with the synthesis of passive networks, motivated by the recent invention of a new mechanical component, the inerter, which establishes a direct analogy between mechanical and electrical networks. We investigate the minimum numbers of inductors, capacitors and resistors required …

Disturbance Attenuation in Mass Chains with Passive Interconnection
This thesis is concerned with disturbance amplification in interconnected systems which may consist of a large number of elements. The main focus is on passive control of a chain of interconnected masses where a single point is subject to an external disturbance. The problem arises in the design of …
