Structural Health Assessment and Monitoring Laboratory
The Structural Health Assessment and Monitoring Laboratory (SHAML) is a research laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Our research focuses on structural dynamics with an emphasis on its applications to structural health assessment and monitoring. Specifically, we are currently expending our research efforts on damage identification of simple and complex structures and on modeling and testing dynamic properties of structures with various joints. Our research embraces numerical modeling/simulation and experimental validation.
