Fluid-Solid Interaction Dynamics

Emeritus Professor of Applied Mechanics in the Fluid-Structure Interaction Group, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, at University of Southampton in UK. He received his PhD in Solid Mechanics from Tsinghua University in China, and has been engaging teaching and researches on FSI dynamics more than 35 years. He is the author of many creative publications in theoretical and applied mechanics, especially in the areas of FSI dynamics, Variational principles, Vibrations and controls, Numerical methods and Energy flow theory for linear / nonlinear dynamical systems.
