Integrating analytical and experimental investigations in mechanics, dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, and waves to discern underlying principles and derive practical insights
Leveraging multiple physical domains (e.g., electro-/magnetoelasticity of smart materials) to create structural/material systems that are adaptive, multifunctional, and robust
Applying these principles on linear and nonlinear systems for:
Vibration/noise damping, isolation, and control
Energy harvesting and guided energy transfer
Structural/material properties change and shape morphing
Sensing methodologies and sensor development
