The lab uses mechanics to analyze how machines move and controls them to move while suppressing vibration.
AboutAbout the lab
Analyzing how machines move and controlling them well
The Yamaura Lab studies the analysis and control of the motion of dynamic systems such as machines.
The lab works on control that builds models of the motion of cranes and robots and moves them while suppressing vibration, as well as control of the amount of load handled by construction machinery.
It also studies computational methods for machines in which many parts are connected and move together, and the analysis of phenomena in which different things interact, such as soil and machinery.
Key terms
- Multibody dynamics
- The field that analyzes by calculation the motion of machines in which many parts are connected by joints and move together
- Vibration-suppression drive control
- Control that devises how a machine is driven so as to suppress the sway and vibration that occur when it moves
- Finite element method
- A method of dividing an object's shape into many small elements and computing deformation and the transmission of force by computer

ResearchResearch themes
Centered on motion analysis and control of dynamic systems, the lab also works on multiphysics and control system technologies. Targeting cranes, robots, and construction machinery, it studies everything from building models that represent motion to numerical methods and control.
*Illustrative imageSuppressing Sway of Slewing Cranes
The lab builds mechanical models of the motion of slewing cranes and studies control that moves them while suppressing sway (vibration), known as vibration-suppression drive control.
*Illustrative imageVibration Control of Parallel Link Robots
The lab builds mechanical models of parallel link robots, which support and move their tip with multiple arms, and studies control that moves them while suppressing vibration.
*Illustrative imageControlling the Load Amount of Construction Machinery
Research that models the work of construction machinery and, based on that model, controls the amount of load the machine takes on.
*Illustrative imageComputational Methods for Machines with Deformable Parts
For machines treated in multibody dynamics, the lab studies the formulation of models for soft, deformable elements and numerical methods based on the nonlinear finite element method.
