Rotor Dynamics: Dynamics, Vibration and Stability

At FlexiDyn Lab, we work on rotor-dynamics problems that arise in high-speed and precision rotating systems. Our research focuses on understanding, predicting, and addressing challenges such as vibration, instability, critical speeds, resonance, nonlinear behaviour, and rotor–structure interactions.

The work covers flexible, lightweight, hollow, tapered, multi-disk, composite, and advanced-material rotors. We also explore smart materials and metamaterials for enhancing rotor stability, controlling and suppressing vibration, mitigating resonance, and reducing the vulnerability of rotating systems to undesirable dynamic responses. Our research aims to develop practical modelling, design, and control solutions for challenging rotating-system applications in aerospace, defence, energy, automotive, turbomachinery, and other precision industries.
