Abstract: Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across length and time scales, and our engineering design principles commonly aim to prevent those. We aim for the exact opposite: ...

Undamped single degree-of-freedom system -- Damped single degree-of-freedom system -- Response of one-degree-of-freedom system to harmonic loading -- Response to general dynamic loading -- Fourier ...

Structural dynamics is the study of how structures respond to time‐varying loads and forces, capturing the interplay between inertia, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This field underpins the design ...

The SDASL Lab attended the 34th International Modal Analysis Conference where 10 students presented papers along with other papers and presentations by faculty. The papers spanned a wide range of ...

The Structural Dynamics and Acoustic Systems Laboratory (SDASL) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell was formed to address analytical and experimental problems for structural and acoustic systems ...
