ISVR Dynamics Group

Research Group: ISVR Dynamics Group

The Dynamics Group has a wide range of interests in the modelling, measurement and control of structural vibrations. Our activities cover the whole spectrum, from fundamental theoretical studies, through the development of numerical tools and experimental measurement techniques to specific engineering applications. These applications extend to land, aerospace and marine vehicles and structures, machinery and humans. Links with industry are very strong.
