Bio-Mechanical Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the modeling and control of dynamic phenomena.
AboutAbout the lab
Modeling and controlling a wide range of phenomena.
The Bio-Mechanical Systems Lab is interested in a wide variety of phenomena and studies methods for modeling and controlling them.
Its research targets are fundamentally dynamic phenomena, and its research areas include vibration control, neural networks, cell mechanics, and complex systems.
The lab aims to conduct world-leading research while training students who can view different themes in a unified way.
On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Shiraishi Lab."
Key terms
- Electrorheological fluid
- A fluid whose viscosity changes under the action of electricity. Also called ER fluid
- Variable-damping damper
- A damper whose damping, which suppresses vibration, can be changed. It is used for vibration control
- Self-organizing neurocontroller
- A control system that proliferates by itself and builds its network automatically
ResearchResearch themes
This lab takes dynamic phenomena as its basic research target and studies methods for modeling and controlling them. It lists its research areas as engineering applications of functional fluids, neural networks, cell mechanics, and complex systems.
*Illustrative imageApplying functional fluids to vibration control
The lab develops new actuators using electrorheological (ER) fluids and magnetorheological (MR) fluids. It has also developed variable-damping dampers using these fluids and applies them to vibration control.
*Illustrative imageControlling vibration with neural networks
The lab develops intelligent vibration control systems that employ neural networks with learning capability. It is also interested in developing self-organizing neurocontrollers, which proliferate by themselves and build the network automatically.
*Illustrative imageCell mechanics
The lab lists the mechanical properties of cells and the responses of cells to mechanical stimuli as its research areas.
*Illustrative imageModeling complex systems and nonlinear phenomena
The lab lists cellular automata, crowd flow, traffic flow, granular flow, and the modeling of nonlinear phenomena as its research areas.
