Dynamics (Dr. Eric Marsh, Pictured to the left)
"The Machine
Dynamics Research Lab works
with both industrial and US government labs
to advance the limit of precision machine
performance. The MDRL seeks to enhance performance
by investigating and solving problems relating
to the dynamics of machine structures."

Structural Dynamics and Controls
(Dr. Kon-Well Wang)
Research
at the Structural
Dynamics and Controls Laboratory (SDCL)
is aimed to develop a "better understanding
of the dynamic characteristics of mechanical structures,
and to create novel analysis, design, and control
methodologies for achieving better system performance." Pictures
to right show some on-going projects in the SDCL.
