The Dynamics and Control Group addresses research problems relating to modelling, simulation and control of civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering systems. The research group focuses on the ...

Particle damping has emerged as an effective passive method to suppress unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering applications. By utilising the inelastic collisions and friction between granular ...

Labyrinth seals are critical components in high‐speed rotating machinery, designed to minimise fluid leakage and influence the overall rotordynamic behaviour of the system. They utilise a series of ...

Solving insidious vibration problems in rotating equipment may sometimes seem like a black art that requires the right incantation. But identifying the root cause of the vibration is actually a ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...
