Active Stabilization of Thermoacoustic Oscillation
… chambers. Successful damping of the combustion oscillations is shown with different control design methods. The most convincing results are obtained with a Kalman filter based LQR control design.

Flow-induced oscillation of flexible bodies
… musical instruments, which produce sound by the oscillation of reeds, thin strips of metal tuned to specific pitches. Each reed is mounted above a slot on the upstream side of a support plate, a geometry that allows a steady flow to induce finite-amplitude oscillations. We study this system …

Pilot Variability During Pilot-Induced Oscillation
Pilot Induced Oscillations (PIO) are described as pilot-aircraft dynamic couplings which can lead to instability in an otherwise stable system. Previous and ongoing research has attempted to explain, predict, and avoid such oscillations. In contrast to other research, this effort backs away from …

The Madden-Julian Oscillation and Convective Aggregation
The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is a region of enhanced precipitation which forms every 30-60 days over the Indian Ocean and slowly propagates to the east over the Pacific. Despite being the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical troposphere, most numerical models struggle …

A mm-scale aeroelastic oscillation-based anemometer
… aeroelastic and vortex-forced flutter modes, its oscillation frequency can be confined to scale smoothly with fluid velocity. This principle has been used to produce a low-cost, mm-scale anemometer that measures air flow to ±(5% + 0.5m/s) from 1-25m/s. This paper describes the prototype and the …

Oscillation of a Third Order Nonhomogeneous Differential Equation.
This thesis considers the third order, nonhomogeneous, (NH), linear differential equation(NH) y'"+ p(x)y' + q(x)y = f(x),together with the associated homogeneous equation(H) u'" + p(x)u' + q(x)u = 0.The coefficient functions p(x), q(x), and the forcing function f(x) are assumed to be continuous, …

Terahertz oscillation and stimulated emission from planar microcavities
… fabrication conditions. The observation of an oscillation of two laser modes in a photomixing experiment proves a phase coupling mechanism. This demonstrates the potential of the anisotropic cavity design for a passive or active component in a terahertz radiation source or frequency generator. …

The Madden-Julian oscillation and nonlinear moisture modes
The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), the dominant tropical intraseasonal variability with widespread meteorological impacts, continues to puzzle the climate research community on both theoretical and modeling fronts. Motivated by a recent interest in the role of humidity in tropical dynamics, this …

Nonlinear oscillation and control in the BZ chemical reaction.
… model was proposed to study the nonlinear oscillation of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky(BZ) reaction in a closed isothermal chemical system. The reaction zone can be divided into two zones, oscillation zone and transition zone, where the oscillation time and the transition time and the number of …

Identifying muons for neutrino oscillation and cross section experiments
… This results in energy and distance dependent oscillations of the neutrino's lepton flavor called 'neutrino oscillations'. The MINOS experiment (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) was designed to measure the neutrino oscillation parameters, [Delta]m²₃₂ and sin²(2[theta]₃₂). MINOS is …

High Pressure Quantum Oscillation Study of BiTeI and Bi2Te3
… under pressure. Using Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillation measurements, the evolution of the Fermi surface of both materials was tracked as a function of pressure. At ambient pressure, two distinct quantum oscillation frequencies in BiTeI, corresponding to inner and outer Fermi surface orbits …

On the Oscillation of a Fourth Order Nonhomogeneous Differential Equation.
The primary concern of this study is the oscillation of solutions of (NH). Oscillation of fourth order homogeneous equations has been studied by M. S. Keener, and W. Leighton and Z. Nehari.
