Kyriakos successfully defends his thesis
Congratulations to Kyriakos Chondrogiannis for successfully defending his doctoral thesis titled Nonlinear Design Concepts for Structural Vibration Attenuation.
This thesis explores the potential of harvesting nonlinear resonator solutions for the purpose of structural vibration mitigation, primarily under seismic loads. Kyriakos explores nonlinear designs, which rely on feasible geometries, for evolving from conventional structural vibration systems to technologies that can be both economical and highly efficient in terms of the amount of energy dissipation and achieved mitigation in terms of maximal response amplitudes. The work offers a thorough treatise complete with experimental, analytical and numerical investigations on the design of nonlinear structural vibration attenuation.
Thank you to the doctoral committee for the fruitful discussions:
