Personal profile
Research interests
Dr Aykut Tamer conducts research in aerospace engineering. His research encompasses a wide range of subjects, including:
- predicting the behavior of novel aircraft architectures;
- improving human-machine interaction in novel aircraft to enhance the acceptance of unconventional designs by pilots and passengers,
- dynamics of hybrid and distributed propulsion schemes to enhance aeroelastic stability;
- a broad application area in nonlinear dynamics and vibration control;
- exploring novel structures that can improve aircraft performance under impact and dynamic loads;
- numerical and experimental approaches in aero-engine vibration to enhance the reliability and readiness of future propulsion systems.
