multi-body dynamics

I am a PhD candidate in the department of engineering mechanics, Tsinghua University, China.

My major is multi-body dynamics. I will graduate at July, 2008.

 

The topic of my dissertation is the study of passive dynamic walking, including simulation an experiments.

I chose this topic depend on my interests. I have derived the dynamic equations and coded in matlab and FORTRAN languages.

I have made some simulations and experiments. The animations and videos can be found in my webpages.
