Welcome to the Dynamics & Intelligent Systems Group
Welcome to Dr. Yongchao Yang’s Dynamics & Intelligent Systems (DIS) Group at Michigan Technological University. We aim to understand dynamics behaviors of structures and systems and enable intelligent engineering systems. Our specific research includes Sensing, Modeling, Analysis, and Control of dynamic structures and systems, spanning the broad areas of system identification & control and experimental & computational mechanics, combining approaches from machine (deep) learning and computer vision with optical and acoustical tools.
To this end, we develop novel computational sensing tools and “physics-guided” machine learning methodology for high-fidelity modeling, identification, and characterization of complex structural, material, and system behaviors. Our work strives to advance applications for structural health monitoring, non-destructive evaluations, dynamical system identification and control in the broad areas of cyber-physical systems.
We are grateful for funding from our sponsors:
