In this course we will study the interactions between multiple players (decision makers). Such problems arise frequently in supply chain applications. The interaction of a firm with its competitors, customers and suppliers can be modeled as a game, and hence, our main tool of analysis in this course will be Game Theory. Course goals will be accomplished through lectures, homework and readings. Lectures will emphasize the theoretical aspects of the field, and homework will focus on problem solving skills. This course will be offered in English. This course is designed to help students connect game theory with practices in issues of supply chains, industrial economics, or some related topics in decentralized systems, where individual entrepreneurs have their own profit functions and often are unwilling to reveal their own information to each other or the public.

Image processing is a basic tool for biomedical image analysis. Ranging from contrast enhancement to stereotatic surgery, image processing provides various levels of assistance to the biomedical researches and clinical applications. As an introductory course to the biomedical image processing, the aim of this course is to offer the entry-level graduate students the fundamental image processing techniques. The scope of this course will cover the basic transformation techniques, properties of various medical images, image acquisition, processing and rendering. In addition to the regular lectures, the students are required to exploit advanced techniques independently to reinforce learning. It will include one term project and a couple of paper studies.

Actual implementation of the image processing algorithms on the biomedical images will be emphasized in this course. Although it is not a pre-requisite, the students need to use Matlab as the programming tool for the homeworks. There will be about five homeworks for practice. One exam will be given toward the end of the class. The students will be asked to demonstrate the result of the term project by an oral presentation and a written report.

The discovery of superconductor in 1911 can be marked as the inception of contemporary solid state physics. The quest for understanding the mechanism behind superconductivity lasted for decades, until the BCS theory finally arrived in 1957. However, the endeavor to discover high-Tc superconductor continued till today. The rich variations of novel solid state materials also emerged during the past 50 years, with the advancement of materials growth technology. In this course, we will start from some advanced languages of solid state physics such as second quantization and Hubbard model, then discuss several materials systems using these new tools.

There are three chapters in this course. Chapter one covers the Cartesian Tensors, which are extensive used in the courses of Elasticity, Plasticity, Fluid mechanics, Piezoelasticity, and etc. Chapter two includes three parts. The first part introduces the existence and uniqueness theory for the 1st order ordinary differential equation (ODE) and 1st order system of ODE. The second part covers the solution of 1st order linear system of ODE, which is particular useful for the course of Dynamics. The third part of this chapter is designed to the solution of linear 2nd order ODE with unknown source functions. We introduces the concept of Dirac delta function, generalized functions, adjoint operators, Fredholm alternative theorem, Green�fs functions and modified Green�fs functions and the integral representation of the solution of 2nd order ODE. Finally, Chapter 3 also includes three parts. The 1st part introduces the classification of linear 2nd order PDE. The 2nd introduces the Green�fs function and the integral representation of solution of 2nd order linear PDEs. Free space Green�fs functions are solved first for infinite domain and then method of images are introduced for solving some simple finite domain PDE problems. The 3rd part introduces the eigenvalue problem of self-adjoint boundary value problems of 2nd order PDE, and the full/partial eigenfunction expansion for solving the linear 2nd order BVP or IBVP. Also included in this part are the Maximum-Minimum principle and unique theorems for Laplace/Poisson equation and Heat equation. This course is aimed to let the graduate students own required knowledge in applied mathematics, which has applications in all aspects of mechanics, electricity and applied science.

Students after learning this course should know how to derive the constitutive laws for materials and have the ability to derive the equations of motion based on the Hamilton’s principle for continuous structures.

Students are taught to perform theoretical analysis of vibration and wave motion of structures. They would be well trained with the knowledge of suppressing the vibration and noise of structures by the means of different passive and active feedback-control techniques together with sensors and actuators.

Various applications from sensors to actuators are introduced and their working principles will be interpreted.

When a body is subjected to external loads, internal stress is induced in the

body and the body deforms accordingly. If the body restores its original shape

as the external loads are removed, it is called an elastic body. On the other

hand, if the loading is so large such that permanent deformation takes place,

the response of the body is inelastic. Usually engineering materials are

designed to behave in the elastic range. The objective of the course is to

discuss methods that can be used to analyze the stress and deformation of

elasitic bodies under external loading.

The students should acquire the following knowledge as the semester ends:

1. various measures to describe the deformation of a body, the physical meanings and the transformation of these measures, and compatibility condtions of strains.

2. relation between stress vector and stress tensor; equations of motion, principal stress, and maximum shearing stress.

3. hyperelastic materials and the generalized Hooke’s law, isotropic materials, and the relation between elastic constants and engineering constants.

4. formulation of elasticity problems in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems, and the principle of virtual work.

5. analysis of problems with only on independent variables, such as a spherical shell subjected to internal pressure.

6. analysis of plane strain and plane stress problems, and the airy stress function.

7. analysis of torsion problems.

8. analysis of bending problems and the Timoshenko beam theory.
