The Centre of Acoustic Mechanical Micro Systems (CAMM) have invited guest PhD student Milad Saadatmand for a 6 month stay.
Milads research interest area is nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear vibrations, especially systems like membranes and plates. He is also focused on Nano/Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (N/MEMS) stating that these systems are inherently nonlinear because of electro mechanical force.
His academic interest in dynamics and vibration fields was woken when he was a bachelor student, studying at Semnan University in Iran. "The field of dynamics and vibrations is one of the most fundamental and oldest branches in mechanic physics. It is wonderful that everything in the world, from subatomic particles to galaxies, have a kind of movement which in most cases are periodic, and which means that they are vibrating. Also in engineering, we use nonlinear mathematical models widely for more accuracy. By using nonlinear models in dynamics, we will observe more complication and elegance of the mechanics".
When asked about what motivated him to further research in this area, Milad says that "Assuming nonlinear terms in modeling make it more accurate. Most researchers use nonlinear analysis in studying MEMS capacitor plates. It is interesting that some nonlinear terms in these systems are in fractional forms, which can be very complicated. So further research in nonlinear dynamics and vibrations improve your ability to analyze MEMS and motivated me to search more in this area"
"CAMM centre are so professional in using numerical methods.....this research visit will be of great mutual benefit"
Milad Saadatmand
Milads PhD project is close to Jakob Sondergaards Jensens research area and even overlaps in some places, so it seemed like a great opportunity to come to DTU and carry out research at CAMM. The Centre here at DTU Electrical Engineering is so professional at using numerical methods like finite elements means, that it is a good possibility for verification of my results, and both Professor Jensen and I believe this research visit will be of great mutual benefit.
Milads studied his MSc at Bu Ali Sina University in Hamedan, Iran and he started his PhD at Guilan University, Iran in 2013. His PhD is entitled "Nonlinear Vibration and Control Analysis of Two-Sided Condensor Microplate in presence of Electrostatic and Casimir Forces".
Milad comes from the beautiful mountainous city Karaj, which is close to the Iranian capital, Tehran and this is his first trip to Denmark. "The Danish people and nice and friendly and everyone has made me feel very welcome in the country. It feels like being in my hometown. The atmosphere at DTU is scientific and everyone is very kind. There are people here from all over the world and most treat you like friends"
