Research Area

Vision

The Moore Dynamics and Analytics Laboratory (MoDAL) synergistically combines theory, mathematical and computational modeling, and experimentation to understand and exploit strongly nonlinear dynamical phenomena. Our vision is to place nonlinear dynamics in the toolbox of every vibration engineer. Our approach is to leverage data, machine learning, and autonomy to remove barriers for utilizing and understanding nonlinearity.

Active Research Directions

Active areas of research include:

  1. Physics-based, data-driven modeling and discovery of governing equations directly from measurements[1][2][3].
  2. AI-based automated testing of mechanical structures[4].
  3. Reduced-order modeling of nonlinear structures [5][6].
  4. Nonlinear energy flows in mechanical structures[7][8][9].
  5. Novel vibration mitigation strategies employing nonlinearities[10].
  6. Advanced signal processing for nonlinear time series data[11][12].
  7. Applications of nonlinear dynamics and vibrations to novel fields (e.g., wave-induced vibrations of ships).

Equipment

Digital Image Correlation (DIC)

High-speed digital cameras
The pair of high-speed digital cameras in MoDAL.

We have a high-speed 3D DIC system for non-contact measurements for systems where discrete sensors affect the dynamics, can't be used due to geometry, or where full-field data is needed. The cameras can record up to 500,000 frames per second (FPS) at reduced resolution and at 4,000 FPS at a 1-megapixel resolution. We typically film vibrations and dynamic responses around 4k to 10k FPS. We have previously performed measurements on strongly nonlinear vibrating structures and high-speed catastrophic failure (e.g., 3D-printed pressure vessel exploding).
