The Dynamic Systems and Controls (DSC) Laboratory is dedicated to the fundamental engineering research on the linear and nonlinear behavior of dynamic systems and its applications. The DSC lab is equipped with two laser Doppler vibrometers, a shaker, data acquisition devices, free and forced vibration setup, flywheel experiment setup, an oscilloscope, and a wave generator. The laboratory is available to mechanical engineering students during regular business hours, but student access is restricted to properly trained and supervised research and teaching assistants on an as needed basis. This lab is located in Doolan Hall, Room 103.
