Abstract:

The completed research includes significant accomplishments on such problems as the stabilization and control of serially connected beams, point actuators and sensors for second order systems, the boundary element numerical method for two dimensional linear quadratic elliptic problems, quasi-variational inequalities, analysis and design of dissipative joints in structures, a boundary element method based on Cauchy integrals for some linear quadratic elliptic problems, and the stabilization of nonlinear strings.
