Compression members, made from slender metallic plate elements, are prone to a wide range of different elastic instability phenomena. A thin-walled I-section strut, made from a linear elastic material, can suffer from the nonlinear interaction between a global (Euler) buckling m…

This dissertation focuses on the novel delta-sigma modulator, called binary delta-sigma modulator, which is suitable for ultra high-speed Analog to Digital conversion in optical applications. A performance comparison of the binary delta-sigma modulator (BDSM) with the convention…
