Research Topics• Vibrations in the built environment (traffic, construction
activities, wind, earthquakes): development ofnumerical models for the prediction of vibration,design of vibration mitigation measures, in situ testsfor the identification of dynamic soil characteristics
• Vibration based structural identification and evaluation:identification of modal parameters (system identification)for design verification and model calibration, structuralhealth monitoring and damage detection, dynamicforce identification
• Building acoustics: development of numerical andexperimental tools for understanding, assessing and optimizing airborne and structure borne soundinsulation at the component and building level
• Optimization of structures subjected to static anddynamic loads by means of parameterized modelsand topology optimization
Unique infrastructureEquipment for vibration and vibro-acoustic measurementsin the laboratory and in situ:• Impact hammers, shakers, drop weight device• High sensitivity seismic accelerometers, force sensors,
wireless MEMS accelerometers and optical camerasystem
• Data acquisition systems for vibration and vibro-acoustic measurements
• Software for monitoring and data processing
