Specialization

Dynamics, vibrations, solid mechanics

Research Interest

I have broad interests within applied mechanics and applied mathematics. My prior work has been on walking machines, bicycles and motorcycles, nonlinear vibrations, systems with delays and/or fractional order dynamics, rigid body impact, ions in Paul traps, rotors, fatigue models, statistics of test data, damping in solids, hysteresis models, and some other areas. One theme through my research has been in seeking low-dimensional models of higher-dimensional systems, sometimes using new methods.
