Research
The Active Structures and Dynamics Laboratory (ASDL) focuses on the use and development of active structures and systems for vibration analysis and testing, structural health monitoring, energy harvesting, sensors/actuators, acoustics, self-repairing structural systems, and mechatronics, which could be applied to a wide variety of engineering systems.
Active structures, active material systems, and smart structures refer to the integrated use of actuators, sensors, and control/data processing capabilities for improved performance of engineering structures/systems. We focus on the theoretical,numerical, and experimental research associated with active material systems.Our current research projects include.
- Active-sensing structural health monitoring of composite structures
- Fluid and structure interaction of pipes
- Energy harvesting using advance materials
- Vibration testing and analysis of structures
- Noise and vibration reduction of electronics
- Impact and load identification
- Advanced signal processing for structural dynamics applications
ASDL participates in the activities of the Engineering Institute - Korea, an international research and education collaboration between the Engineering Institute of Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA, and Chonbuk National University, Korea
