Who We Are
The Structural Mechanics and Smart Materials Group focuses on cutting-edge research at the intersection of advanced materials, computational modeling, and experimental mechanics. Our work spans the development and application of smart materials, vibration control systems, and structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques to enhance the safety, durability, and performance of engineering structures.
Combining robust finite element analysis (FEA) and high-fidelity numerical simulations with rigorous experimental validation, the group delivers innovative solutions for modern structural and mechanical systems.
