We are a graduate field of the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with 14 faculty and about 30 PhD students.
Our research often tends more towards Science, Engineering concepts and Applied Mathematics than direct engineering applications. Research tools include mechanics experiments, analytical mathematical solutions and computer simulations.
Some buzzwords associated with TAM research include: dynamics, dynamical systems, chaos, networks, solid mechanics, materials research, fracture, composites, adhesion, granular flow, planetary rings, robotics, biomechanics, bio-mathematics, locomotion and insect flight.
