Research: Developed analytical technique to predict and determine the stability of structural response to changes in applied harmonic forcing. Applied method to analytical models of shallow arches and buckled beams. Demonstrated ability to characterize intricacies of system response, and identify previously undetected coexisting stable and chaotic solutions.
