Graduate Programs: Mechanics, Materials and Design Focus Group
The objectives of the Materials, Mechanics and Design focus group is to conduct research
which will advance the engineering knowledge base and will lead to new processes and
products in the broad areas of mechanical systems, dynamic systems and control, and
mechanical design. More specifically, the research thrust of this group includes but
is not limited to the dynamic behavior and control of mechanism, machines, mechanical
systems, processes, structures, smart materials, biomechanics, fatigue and fracture
mechanics, noise and vibrations analysis and control, intelligent control of mechanical
systems, design methodology, and machine dynamics. An additional goal of this group
is the codification of research results to place them in a form useful for professional
practice. Research methods include a blend of techniques involving mathematics and
computer simulation as well as physical experimentation.
