Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Base Plates on Leveling Nuts
(2012-01)Base plates are used to connect structural members to their foundations. They are routinely used in cantilevered structures supporting traffic utilities like overhead cantilevered direction signboards, traffic signals, ... -
Non-Linear Modeling and Control of Unmanned Air Vehicle
(2012-05)The aim of this thesis is to design and simulate a Dynamic Inversion based autopilot for a fixed wing aircraft. The autopilot provides the aircraft motion stability by commanding the different aircraft control surfaces and ... -
Non-Linear Profile Monitoring Using Artificial Neural Network Fault Detection
(2018-04)In today’s world, the development of technology and industrial systems is becoming much more complex with the ever-demanding need for higher quality. Anomaly detection is the characterization of a normal behavior of a ... -
Non-Viral Gene Transfection with Ultrasound: Is 100% Transfection Possible?
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)Ultrasound has been used as a modality to enhance the transfection of cells, purportedly via entry of genetic material through defects in the cell membrane produced by bubble cavitation events. A mathematical model was ... -
Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Quadrotor
(2014-02)In this research, nonlinear and adaptive controls of quadrotors are designed. The system is considered as an under-actuated system, which has six degrees of freedom (DOF) and four actuators. In addition, a nonlinear model ... -
Nonlinear Analysis of Electrically-coupled Microbeams under Mechanical Shock
(2018-04)This work presents a theoretical investigation of the dynamic response of electrically-coupled microcantilever beams under the combined effect of squeeze-film damping and mechanical shock for MEMS applications. Several ... -
Nonlinear Bending and Snapthrough Response of Doubly Curved Laminated Shells
(2021-04)Shell structures made up of conventional fiber reinforced composite (FRC) laminates find many applications in engineering fields. In contrary to plate structures, shells exhibit two stable equilibrium configurations. Due ... -
Nonlinear FEA of Soil-Structure-Interaction Effects on RC Shear-Wall Structures
(2018-05)Considering Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) is essential when evaluating the structural system’s response as it can unveil behaviors that are otherwise not accounted for in fixed-base (FB) systems. Nonlinear Finite Element ... -
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Shear Walls with Perforations
(2016-01)The lateral load-resisting system of a building is an essential part of the structure and is critical for stability. Most reinforced concrete buildings around the world use reinforced concrete shear walls as their main ... -
Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling of the Load-Carrying and Energy Dissipation Capacities for Buckling-Restrained Braces
(2013-07)Conventional concentric braces buckle under compressive loading. To overcome this limitation, the Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) were introduced in the mid 70's which typically consist of a low-yield steel core and a ... -
Nonlinear Friction Identification of A Linear Voice Coil DC Motor
(2015-06)Friction is a nonlinear phenomenon that has a major effect on the performance of servomechanisms and positioning systems such as CNC machines, robot manipulators, printers and disk drives. For this reason, accurate knowledge ... -
Notch Sensitivity of Fiber Reinforced Composite
(2019-04)In most applications, structures made of composite materials involve features such as drilled assembly holes, which induce stress concentrations in their vicinities resulting in a reduction in the load carrying capacity ... -
Novel algorithms for accurate DNA base-calling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)The ability to decipher the genetic code of different species would lead to significant future scientific achievements in important areas, including medicine and agriculture. The importance of DNA sequencing necessitated ... -
Novel Azoles as Antiparasitic Remedies against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(MDPI, 2020)Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are opportunistic protozoan pathogens capable of producing infection of the central nervous system with more than 95% mortality rate. Previously, we have synthesized several ... -
A Novel Cancer Treatment Platform Utilizing HER2-Immunoliposomes and Ultrasound
