Research in the Griffith Research Group is focused on developing new technologies to enable reliable, responsible, and cost-effective wind turbine designs and gain a better understanding of structural dynamic and aero-elastic phenomena in aero-mechanical systems.  Our structural dynamics activities span analytical and numerical studies to experimental modal analysis conducted in our Experimental Dynamics Laboratory.

Our research spans development of innovative rotor blade designs (upper left), novel wind farm designs based on Design for Repowering (DFR) (upper right), methods and uses for digital twins in asset management (lower right), and experimental structural dynamics via 3D scanning laser doppler vibrometry (SLDV) (lower left).
