Tobias Weidemann

Tobias Weidemann is a third-year doctoral student under Professor Malte Krack at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. His research aims to exploit strong non-smooth nonlinearities in the form of impacts to mitigate structural vibrations. In particular, the focus lies on the phenomenon of inter-modal targeted energy transfer that describes the almost irreversible scattering of energy to higher structural modes, which can dissipate the mechanical energy on a faster timescale than the primary vibration.

He holds a M.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Stuttgart with a strong specialization in nonlinear dynamical systems, as well as previous visiting scholar positions at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Imperial College London.

During his visit to Professor Alice Cicirello’s group at the University of Cambridge, he works on data-driven methods to estimate amplitude bounds of chaotic steady-state vibrations, which can arise in strongly nonlinear structures. For this, he receives funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
