Laboratory of

Nonlinear Dynamics, Vibration, & Control (N.D.V.C.)

Welcome to Prof. Xingjian JING's N.D.V.C. Research Lab

The NDVC Lab aims at innovative application-oriented theory and methods for analysis, design, signal processing and control of complex nonlinear systems, and their applications in different disciplines from engineering practices to biological systems. The current research topics include:

  • Frequency domain methods for analysis and design of nonlinear systems and applications, focusing on a recently developed GFRF and nonlinear output spectrum based method (Nonlinear characteristic output spectrum (NCOS) or Output frequency response function (OFRF));

  • Sound and vibration research focusing on development of new generation vibration control both in active and passive manners by exploiting nonlinear benefits (bio-inspired methods, nature-inspired methods, novel structure or mechanism designs);

  • Robust control methods by employing nonlinear benefits for more robust performance and less energy cost (typically applied to vehicle suspension systems);

  • Robotics -- bio-inspired robots, construction robots, marine robots, field robots, and other customer-tailored robotic systems.

  • Robust learning methods for noisy data and applications in nonlinear system identification; and novel application-oriented nonlinear system identification and signal processing methods with NARX models, block-oriented nonlinear models (Wiener/ Hammerstein models), Volterra/Wiener kernel methods, and Neural networks for distributed/lumped parameter systems and stochastic systems.
