This work is on recursive state estimators for general classes of nonlinear stochastic models. First, a brief coverage of linear and nonlinear state estimation is given. Then a couple of numerical modifications are being introduced for extending the applicability of the extended…

This thesis describes the work of three research projects, the background research that motivated the work, and the resultant project findings. The three projects concerned: (i) Geometric stochastic resonance in a double cavity, (ii) Synchronisation of geometric stochastic reson…
In today's hypercompetitive business word, the manufacturing of products requires flexibility and agility. Transforming ideas, material, and energy into reality entails the ultimate utilization of the constrained available resources. Production planning and control plays an infl…
In this research, a new zeroth-order (non-gradient based) topology optimization methodology for compliance minimization was developed. It is called the Element Exchange Method (EEM). The principal operation in this method is to convert the less effective solid elements into void…
In this document a highly detailed stochastic soot model limited to 0D simulations is coupled to 3D domains through the use of a Lagrangian parcel-Eulerian fluid method. Although both the stochastic soot model used and the Lagrangian parcel-Eulerian fluid method have long histor…
