Safety and reliability are prime concerns in aircraft performance due to the involved costs and risk to lives. Despite the best efforts in design methodology, quality evaluation in production and structural integrity ...

This thesis presents the results and analyses of computational studies on certain problems of combustion instability in solid propellants. Specifically, effects of relaxing certain assumptions made in previous models of ...

Generally in most of the applications of estimation theory using the Method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MMLE) to dynamical systems one deals with a situation where only the measurement noise alone is present. However ...
