Hamid Ahmadian

  Dr. Hamid Ahmadian is Professor of Vibration Engineering and director of Modal Testing Laboratory in

  School of Mechanical Engineering of Iran University of Science and Technology. His research interests

  are Model Updating, Inverse Eigenvalue Problems, Structural Dynamics and Finite Element Modeling.

  His contributions on Model Updating, where measured modal test data is used to obtain a new

  estimate for the parameters of a FE model, include the development of a systematic approach in

  parameterizing the model by using Generic Elements.

  In the finite element method, H. Ahmadian has originated an inverse strategy to formulate an element

  without the need to introduce any shape functions. In this method a parametric model for the

  element is developed. Then the parameters of the model are assigned by minimizing the discertization

  error in the FE formulation.

  H Ahmadian’s current research projects include the application of inverse methods in identifying

  properties of mechanical joints. Joints have a strong influence on the dynamical behavior of structures;

  hence identification of their models is an important step in finite element modeling. The modeling of

  macro- and micro-slip phenomenon in the mechanical joint interfaces at different level of excitation

  force and the induced damping due to joint interface friction are main concerns in aerospace industries

  and are currently under investigation.
