The research is organized around field-responsive materials, guided-wave phenomena, and geometry-driven dissipation mechanisms that can eventually support component-level engineering systems.
Analytical and numerical modelling of elastic waves in compressible magnetoactive polymers under magnetic bias. Current emphasis includes Rayleigh-type surface waves, Love waves in layered systems, and coefficient choices that preserve physically meaningful magnetic stress states.
Design of auxetic and mechanism-enhanced architectures for energy absorption, dissipation, and stiffness tailoring. Current directions include reinforced auxetic cells, friction-enabled mechanisms, matrix-filled variants, and recoverable deformation modes.
Exploration of laminates, gradients, slender structures, and hybrid magneto-mechanical architectures where geometry, material response, and external fields contribute together to tunability and energy management.
