The Stability and Dynamics of Elastic Structures and Fluid Flows

Abstract

The main thrust of our research program has been the development and applications of asymptotic and perturbation methods for analyzing: the stability and dynamics of elastic structures, fluid flow, and other nonlinear problems; and for problems of scattering of acoustic, electromagnetic and other waves. Keywords: Poiseuille flow, Channel flow, Convection (Heat transfer), Bipolar Transistors, Bipolar oscillators, Flutter, Q switching, Ring lasers, Pharmakokinetics, Control theory, Acoustic scattering, Phase transformations, Caustics, Fluid mechanics.
