Wind turbine: modelling and dynamical analysis (lectures #1 & #2)
The expansion of offshore wind energy introduces dynamic challenges arising from increased tower height, higher excitation forces, and substantial water depths. This underscores the importance of a profound understanding of the system’s dynamical response. In these two lectures, we will delve into the modeling and dynamical analysis of wind turbines, encompassing both powertrain torsional vibration and tower vibration. Additionally, foundation modeling, considering both fixed and buoyant configurations, will be addressed.

Metamaterials for vibration reduction (lecture #3)
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of metamaterials for achieving effective vibration control. In this talk we will cover concepts on the use of metamaterials for vibration reduction encompassing discrete and continuous mechanical systems. The discussion will extend to encompass both linear and nonlinear systems, providing a comprehensive understanding of the potential of metamaterials in vibration control.
