Integrated infrared detector- cryogenic cooler Percussion and Vibration Machines Research areas include the optimal excitation of percussion machines, development of adaptive resonant exciters for technological applications. Current projects comprise the development of new principle in excitation of percussion machines, rock drilling, processing of granular media. These are tampering and cultivating of ground, mixing, transportation and separation of multi-component granular media, demolishing of hard and brittle materials. Current projects include separation of drilling mud, impact fatigue of materials, fragmentation of brittle materials. Power Ultrasonics Research areas are ultrasonic cutting and drilling of hard and brittle materials, autoresonant excitation of ultrasonic systems, development of ultrasonic transducers and wave guides.
Current projects are development of new methods for machining of aviation materials.
Ultrasonic Assisted Turning Ultrasonic Assisted Drilling Non Contact Measurements of Dynamic Processes Noise and vibration measurement and analysis and, in particular, the use of non-contact laser technologies for vibration measurement. Development of laser vibrometry for diverse applications including measurement on ultrasonic machinery and for measurement of radial, axial, torsional and bending vibrations directly from rotors. Non-contact measurements and analysis of impacts in solids, especially for large elastic deformations. These works lead to development of the new concepts in vibration engineering fulfilled by the group with the co-operation of the leading firms. The group has scientific links with the international scientific community, publishes regularly in international journals and conferences.
