Abstract:
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 87-90).<br>This thesis derives new results in nonlinear system analysis using methods inspired from fluid mechanics and differential geometry. Based on a differential analysis of convergence, these results may be viewed as generalizing the classical Krasovskii the­orem, as well as linear eigenvalue analysis. A central feature is that convergence and limit behavior are in a sense treated separately, leading to significant conceptual simplifications. We es

Abstract:
Deux systèmes biologiques distincts, les muscles squelettiques et les sites d'adhésion de cellules kératocytes en mouvement, sont considérés dans un même cadre en raison de la similitude profonde de leur structure et de leur fonctionnalité. La réponse passive de l'un et de l'autre peut être modélisée à l'aide d'un grand nombre d'unités multi-stables couplées par des interactions à longue portée, et exposées à un désordre spatial fixé et un bruit thermique/mécanique. Les interactions à longue portée dans de tels systèmes conduisent à une synchronisation malgré les fluctuations temporelles et sp

Abstract:
The one which is considered the standard model of theory change was presented in [AGM85] and is known as the AGM model. In particular, that paper introduced the class of partial meet contractions. In subsequent works several alternative constructive models for that same class of functions were presented, e.g.: safe/kernel contractions ([AM85, Han94]), system of spheres-based contractions ([Gro88]) and epistemic entrenchment-based contractions ([G ar88, GM88]). Besides, several generalizations of such model were investigated. In that regard we emphasise the presentation of models which ac

Abstract:
Autogenous shrinkage is of concern in high performance concrete mixtures, when specific properties like strength and durability are enhanced. Factors like low watercement ratio, low porosity and increased hydration kinetics which are associated with high performance concrete mixtures are also responsible for the development of autogenous shrinkage. With about two decades of research into autogenous shrinkage, uncertainties still exist with testing procedure, effect of supplementary cementitious materials, modelling and prediction of autogenous shrinkage.

Abstract:
Currently, the plastics industry has a wide range of applications due to the possibility of a fully automated process or through increased production efficiencies. The reason for this choice of the thesis was to understand the whole issue of plastic injection molding process. The specified component is used to atach the sail, which serves to protect workers in the welding sector. A specified number of the series is 350 000. The work includes a theoretical problem of injection molding process, selection of technology, material selection and design of mold. An integral part of every design mold

Abstract:
A promising approach to treat patients with vocal fold paralysis using electrical stimulation is investigated throughout this research work. Functional Electrical Stimulation works by stimulating the atrophied muscle or group of muscles directly by current when the transmission lines between the central nervous system are disrupted. This technique helps maintain muscle mass and promote blood flow in the absence of a functioning nervous system. The goal of this work is two-fold: develop control techniques for muscle contraction to optimize muscle stimulation and develop a small-scale electromag

Abstract:
Asthma is characterised by airway remodelling and an increase in airway resistance. A greater understanding of the mechanisms involved in airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) may highlight therapeutic opportunities for asthma. This study initially aimed to optimise the preparation of precision cut lung slices (PCLS) in mouse and pig to investigate the influence of calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis on airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction as a prelude to human studies. The PCLS technique was then applied to a murine model of allergic airway disease to explore the inflammatory pro

Abstract:
Diagnosing cardiac patient problems contains many uncertainties, and to fully diagnose the patient's condition usually requires a lengthy drug regimen to see what works and what does not. Compounding this problem is that even after the correct drug regimen has been discovered, the underlying cause for the problem may remain a mystery. Thus, the uncertainty and the length of time required to provide an accurate and adequate solution makes it very difficult to provide quality care to the patient. Templeton and others have shown that lumped cardiac muscle parameters can be extracted from an isola
