About<\/h1>\n

Our research is concerned with the modelling, measurement and control of the dynamic response of engineering structures, particularly mechanical vibrations.<\/p>\n

The spectrum of activities ranges from fundamental theoretical research, to the development of advanced computational tools, experimental testing and measurement techniques, and to specific applications in mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering.<\/p>\n
