SDU Mechanical Engineering (ME) focuses on issues within mechanical design, structural dynamics, multiphysics simulation, topology optimization, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, materials technology, and maritime technology.
Structural dynamics
Research in structural dynamics includes mathematical modeling, condition monitoring, structural health monitoring and modal analysis of supporting structures in e.g. windmills and offshore constructions.
Multiphysics simulation, optimization and experimentation
Research in Multiphysics Simulation, Optimization and Experimentation focuses on the analysis of complex multiphysics problems using advanced numerical methods, computational morphogenesis and experimental validation.
Fluid mechanics and heat transfer
Research in fluid mechanics and heat transfer is built on theoretical, numerical, and experimental analysis with a focus on innovative applications for environmental improvement.
Materials technology
Research in the field of materials technology focuses on design, simulation, and performance characterization from a mechanics of materials perspective, and on new ways and methods to manufacture composite materials.
Maritime technology
Research in maritime technology focuses on the sustainable operation of vessels and naval constructions with a particular focus on energy efficiency, vibration and fatigue.
Mechanical design
Within mechanical design, research focuses on projects both in collaboration with the industry and internally at TEK, primarily with SDU Robotics, SDU Health Informatics and Technology, SDU Energy Informatics, SDU UAS Centre, and Center for Large Structure Production – LSP.
