Shibutani Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the safety management of mechanical systems through both theory and practice.

AboutAbout the lab
Toward a society that lives with risk.
The Shibutani Lab studies the fundamental theory and practice of safety management for mechanical systems.
Built on safety engineering, its work covers risk management, health management based on failure prediction, reliability engineering, computational analysis, and failure analysis.
Yokohama National University is regarded as a well-known university in the field of safety engineering, ever since Japan's first Department of Safety Engineering was established there in 1967.
In addition to graduate students, the lab also conducts research and education for undergraduate students.
