Biography
Professor Spanos' research efforts focus on the dynamics and vibrations of structural and mechanical systems under a variety of loads. Systems exhibiting nonlinear behavior and/or exposed to hazard/risk inducing conditions receive particular attention. His group is also interested in fatigue and fracture issues of modern composite materials, and in signal processing algorithms for dynamic effects in biomedical applications.Â
Research Interest
Digital Signal Processing; Dynamical Systems: Parameters Identification and Response Determination; Performance/Safety Assessment for Statics and Dynamics Problems in: Aerospace, Biomedical, Forensic, Marine, Petroleum, Seismic, and Structural Engineering.Â
