Research Themes Vibration of complex structures Transport Research Group Transport Research Group is to investigate the dynamics of heavy goods vehicles, their road-damaging characteristics as well as their safety, productivity and fuel consumption. Sustainable road freight The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight was founded to help perform a comprehensive programme of research on the opportunities for improving the environmental sustainability of road freight transport. Heavy vehicle dynamics The 'Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium' is a collaboration between a group of companies from the heavy truck industry and engineers from Cambridge University who have joined forces to develop better heavy goods vehicles. Driver-vehicle dynamics This has prevented vehicle manufacturers from designing chassis and steering control systems that optimize the closed-loop driver-vehicle behaviour Ground-borne noise and vibration from railways, and vibration from isolation of buildings Randomness and uncertainty in engineering dynamics Mechanics of musical instruments
