Strength of Materials and Structures

Innovative design theory for sustainable mechanical systems is developed through advanced mathematical methods.

Grounded on structural mechanics, we are working on innovations in design theory of systems based on advanced mathematical approaches, which cover the entire life cycle of mechanical systems from design and development to manufacturing, operation, and disposal. To contribute to sustainable societal development, we aim to create next-generation mechanical systems and devices by integrating research from diverse fields.
