The group teaches courses on the vibrations of continuous systems, participates to relevant conferences worldwide and is actively involved in the publication of papers on international scientific journals. Our areas of expertise include geometrically nonlinear vibrations of thin walled structures, shells and plates, nonlinear and chaotic vibrations, determination of dynamic damping, vibrations of biomedical devices, vibrations of microsystems, vibrations of pipes and slender structures in contact with fluid, active control of mechanical vibrations, modal analysis, vibrations of metallic, composite, laminated, functionally graded and visco- or hyper-elastic materials, vibrations of tanks and sloshing. In this perspective our work merge branches of research that have in the past developed separately (e.g., nonlinear dynamics of aerospace and underwater vehicles), but that have many problems in common. Our group is seeking to develop solutions to open problems in the nonlinear dynamics of shell structures through groundbreaking innovations in experimental, theoretical and numerical techniques. Damage to properties (historic or not) could occur if thresholds are exceeded by any activity. The increasing need to produce lighter-weight aerospace shell structures has led to the use of advanced material systems and the demand for new design methods to guide product development. The purpose of the monitoring is to ensure that the vibration triggers are respected for the buildings and structures nearby the working area. This tool can monitor the vibration occurred by mining activity, especially drilling and blasting. We study nonlinear dynamics (how a small change in one variable can lead to a large, systemic change) and stability, fluid-structure interactions, and active control of shell structures, particularly for aeronautical and underwater vehicles. Instantel Micromate is a tool for mining activity needs. The group of Mechanical Vibrations and Fluid Structure Interaction at McGill University, Montreal, is led by Professor Marco Amabili. (A) NIH 3T3 cells were allowed to extend pseudopodia toward an L-lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) gradient (100 ng/mL) for 60 min (growth), or the LPA gradient was removed and pseudopodia allowed to retract for 30 min (retraction). The Micromate is also the first Vibration Monitoring Device to feature a touchscreen making monitoring easier than ever Ground vibration monitoring is vital for construction & project sites that border, or reside close to, residential areas, places of historical importance or particular scientific interest.

The primary purpose of this monitoring is to address structural damage to nearby buildings and it is usually accompanied by pre- and post-construction crack inspections.

Construction vibration monitoring is required at most building sites and is usually provided by the contractor.
