The near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4, discovered in December 2024, has drawn scientific interest due to its Earth-crossing orbit and a close approach scheduled for December 2032. Although the probability of Earth impact has been ruled out, a 4.3% chance of lunar impact …

This thesis investigates vibration-based stability as a mechanism for achieving self-stabilizing nonlinear dynamic motion in engineered systems. Inspired by biological hovering flight, in which periodic wing motion can passively enhance stability, the study explores how controlled oscillations can be used to stabilize …

The use of composite laminates in aerospace applications presents the opportunity to exploit their multifunctionality. Thermal management scenarios create unique possibilities for integrating composites, particularly where thermal loading facilitates passive actuation. These composite laminates, when constructed in specific geometries and ply orientations, …

Thermally actuated composite laminates are attractive candidates for multi-functional aerospace structures. Temperature-based actuation exploits the individual layers' thermal properties to generate composite deformation. Inherently bistable composite laminates are of interest for thermal management systems and provide an avenue to implement a passive …
