Abstract: Cavity-wall interactions play an important role in determining the dynamics of supercavitating vehicles. To date, supercavitating vehicle system models make use of constant cylindrical cavities. ...

Abstract: Analytical and numerical investigations into the dynamics and control of dive-plane dynamics of supercavitating vehicles are presented. Dominant nonlinearities associated with planing forces are ...

Abstract: In this article, vehicle handling behavior of a nonlinear four-wheel vehicle system is studied. Bifurcations with respect to vehicle speed and roll moment distribution are examined for innate ...

Abstract: Intrinsic localized modes are localization events caused by intrinsic nonlinearities within an array of perfectly periodic coupled oscillators. Recent developments in microscale fabrication techniques ...

Abstract: In this article, reduced-order models of a drill-string system are developed, the predictions of these models are studied, and qualitative comparisons are made with experimental studies. The ...
