Structural Dynamics

Dynamics of Infrastructures induced by  Earthquake

The research topics of Structural Dynamics group are centered around various engineering issues related to structural dynamics, earthquake engineering, and design of structural systems for large-scale infrastructures. The area of interest also covers the application of the state-of-the-art dynamic response modification devices, sophisticated high performance structures.

Research Topics

To cope with unexpected large earthquakes, I seek to develop new structural technologies and establish of design methods especially for concrete structures. I evaluate the performance of the new structural technologies by structural experiment and elucidate the mechanism of the structural behavior by numerical analysis using the finite element method.

Research Topics

Earthquake-induced Dynamics

The major field of this topic is seismic performance of structures. Especially, the developement of high seismic performance structure, the evaluation of structural control technologies are investigated. Also, the methodology of hybrid simulation of structural systems is another research topic.
