- Biomechanics
- Brief Description
- My overall research goal is to discover new mechanical mechanisms that underlie the nonlinearity and multi-stability for lightweight structures both in engineering and in organisms. The research is a combination of theoretical (nonlinear dynamics), computational (meshless methods) and experimental (mechanical apparatus design and biomechanical studies) mechanics analysis.
- Research Laboratory Name
- Tunable Nonlinearity and Stability Lab
- Research Laboratory
- The Tunable Nonlinearity and Stability Lab is located at ET 214. Future facilities to be provided include a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system, high-speed cameras, laser displacement sensors, etc.
- Research Applications
-
- Deployable aerospace structures
- Bio-inspired structures and robots
- Mate-materials
- Brief Description
- My research on lightweight structures has a broad application in the design and safety monitoring of plate and shell structures such as the body of aircrafts or satellites, deployable aerospace structures, and mate-materials assembled by slender cell structures. My studies on animal locomotion also provide insights into the field of bio-inspired propulsion systems.
