Abstract:

A vibration isolator is designed to reduce the vibration and structure borne noise transmitted from a vibratory source, such as machinery and equipment, to the supporting structure. The vibration and structure borne noise transmitted depends upon the dynamic properties of the foundation, the source mounting point and the vibration isolator. Therefore knowledge of the frequency dependent dynamic properties of vibration isolators is a necessary part of the acoustic prediction and control/reduction process. Vibration isolators may be characterised by measuring their four-pole parameters. A measu

Abstract:

The current momentum in plasmonics research was spurred on by the discovery of enhanced optical transmission. This phenomena results from the resonate coupling of electromagnetic surface waves on either side of a metal film. These waves are known as surface plasmon polaritons. By leveraging their ability to control light on the nanometric scale plasmonic structures are beginning to be integrated into a new generation of opto-electronics devices such as LEDS, photodetectors, photovoltaics and biosensors. This research has been made possible through the use new nanofabrication technologies. In p

Abstract:

An approximate method for predicting the degree of translational-torsional coupling of mixed-bent type multi-storey building structures subject to dynamic loading is presented. The method uses the parametric approach and is based on the generalized representation of asymmetric wall-frame structures by shear-flexure, torsion-warping cantilevers. It is applicable to structures consisting of any combinations of walls and frames that are uniform with height.<br>Simple methods for predicting the uncoupled translational-torsional period ratio and the equivalent eccentricity, which require a knowledg

Abstract:

This thesis presents a study into the inelastic earthquake response of asymmetric structures. The study was conducted through the use of numerical simulation and experimental testing. In particular, the study focussed on the effects of the torsional to lateral frequency ratio, the stiffness eccentricity and strength eccentricity on structural response. Previous studies into this area have often drawn contradictory conclusions regarding the effects of the various input parameters on structural response. It was concluded that these differences arose from the use of different analytical mo

The origins of asymmetric firm sizes are analyzed in the first part of this thesis, modelling technology choice in a one shot quantity game with homogeneous goods. For certain sizes of the market more than one technology is chosen in equilibrium. Generally, the larger the market, the higher the fixed cost of the technology that is chosen in equilibrium. The trade off between market size and concentration is non-monotonic, even if for any size of the market only the most fragmented market structure is considered. In the second part consequences of asymmetric firm sizes are investigated. In Chap

As a component of the overall policy to defeat global terrorism and prevent attacks against the U.S., the Bush and Obama administrations have turned to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones.

Abstract:

The thesis presents a way of interpreting problems and disputes between China and Japan through identifying distrust in Sino-Japanese relations. It is abnormal that the two former rivals still could not move forward from the legacies of history while the status quo of the rise of China brings more problems. One explanation would be that the continuous mutual distrust with an asymmetric structure on different core concerns of strategic and moral issues leads to the locked Sino-Japanese relations. The thesis argues that both of the two countries distrust each other while the priori concerns are

I show that existence of asymmetric information between governments provides a sufficient reason for gradualism to exist. Governments prefer starting small to reduce the cost of partner’s betrayal when there is sufficient degree of information asymmetry regarding the partner’s type. Learning about partner’s incentive structure enhances expectations, encouraging governments to increase their current level of cooperation. S

Surface wind speeds are an important and revealing component of the structure of tropical cyclones (TCs). To understand the asymmetric structure of surface winds in TCs associated with differences in formation region, environmental wind shear, storm forward motion, and TC strength and intensification, a twelve year database of satellite scatterometer data are utilized to produce composite total wind speed and Fourier-derived, low wavenumber analyses. A quantified asymmetry is determined as a function of TC intensity and reveals the tropical storms are influenced by wind shear at all TC-centric
