Structural dynamics

The Structural Dynamics Group has experience in modelling and simulation techniques, in static and dynamic testing, in calibration of computational models and in action modelling, including interaction, which allow sizing and estimating the performance of slender structures throughout their useful life. Furthermore, the group is expert in the design and tuning of devices to increase structural damping and, more recently, in the installation of low-cost electronic systems that allow monitoring and evaluation of built structures, including data management and the generation of early warnings.
