This thesis conducts a series of interrelated research studies on reach probability estimation of rare events for stochastic hybrid systems. Chapter 1 explains that the motivation for these studies stems from the need to assess safety and capacity of a design for a future Air Traffic Management (ATM) concept of operations (ConOps). The safety...

Radionuclides are essential in nuclear medicine and therefore new and improved production methods continue to play an important role in ensuring sustainable availability. This thesis focuses on the production of two radionuclides (99mTc and 51Cr) using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are novel porous materials and their potential to be...

Complex systems are made up of many interconnected components. The interactions between components further produce emerging complex collective behaviors. In most cases, a complex system can be represented as a network in which the nodes represent the elements and the connected links illustrate the interactions. The spreading process is one of...

Chinese cities have experienced unprecedented economic growth and urban population expansion in the last four decades. However, a variety of social and environmental problems is associated with urbanization. Cities try to grapple with these challenges but simultaneously find themselves locked in an intense competition with other cities. City...

Nowadays, wheel-rail (W/R) interfaces are suffering from the practical problems (e.g. wear, rolling contact defects) with the increase of train speed and traffic density. For accurate prediction of wear and/or growth of rolling contact defects, rapid determination of detailed contact responses (i.e. contact stresses & strains) using...

Chemical degradation of cementitious materials is a serious threat to the durability and performance of concrete structures. External sulfate attack is one of the situations that may cause gradual but severe damage. Sulfate ions present in seawater, rivers, groundwater and industrial effluent can penetrate into the hardened concrete, and react...

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuel and valuable chemicals by coupling with a renewable electricity source is a promising strategy for closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle. The critical step for achieving this practical CO2 utilization is to find a suitable electrocatalyst that is capable of reducing CO2 in a cost-effective...

Alkali activated fly ash (AAFA), also named “geopolymer”, has emerged as a novel engineering material in the construction industry. This material is normally formed by the reaction between fly ash and aqueous hydroxide or alkali silicate solution. With proper mix design, AAFA can present comparable or superior engineering properties to Portland...
