Research in Applied Mechanics and Energy Efficiency
Our research covers a wide range of mechanical engineering applications, but as well wants to contribute to a more sustainable environment by investigating novel technics for more CO2-friendly industrial processes and buildings.
Research for the society and the environment
Applied Mechanics
- Strength of materials in applications
- Experimental & theoretical modal analysis
- Dynamics: vibrations & large movements
- Fatigue assessment
- Biomechanics: implant design & experimental testing by inclusion of muscle- and contact-forces
- Structural health monitoring of concrete bridges: damage detection, damage localisation and quantification of stiffness-loss by model-updating, ie. a combined experimental-simulation approach
Energy Efficiency
- Of buildings: simulations versus real consumption-values
- Of buildings’ components, e.g. ventilation systems, internal insulation
- Of industrial processes
- Of new energy vectors: assessment of H2 for traffic and for use in buildings
