The Miles' quasi laminar theory of waves generation by wind in finite depth h is presented. In this context, the fully nonlinear Green-Naghdi model equation is derived for the first time. This model equation is obtained ...

Guided waves at high frequency are used in structural health monitoring systems to detect damage. The successful application of the technique, however, requires a deep understanding of wave mode propagation and scattering, ...

This letter reports the concept and development of the first optically controlled reconfigurable antenna formillimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. It is based on a slotted-waveguide antenna array and two photoconductive ...

Studies dating back more than 15 years have presented evidence that atmospheric gravity waves play a role in initiating nighttime equatorial F region instabilities. This paper analyzes a spectacular spread F event that for ...

The first part of this thesis will be concerned with the study of the statistical behavior in the long time limit of weakly nonlinear wave systems. The deterministic study of waves gives satisfactory solutions in many ...

Extreme waves generated in the ocean are of high importance because various maritime structures in the world, including ships, are confronted to this type of wave events, both in deep waters and in coastal areas. Some ...

This thesis concerns two different subjects. Although, these two kind of problems are related to the statistical description of systems with many degrees of freedom, they are of quite different nature. The first part ...
