Matthew Cartmell

My name is Matthew Cartmell and I’m interested in modelling dynamics problems in engineering and physics. Most of my research over the years has involved me in trying to find the right differential equations for modelling various problems that have interested me, and these have ranged from vibrating structures, energy harvesters, vibrating car brakes, container cranes, rotating machines of various sorts, spacecraft on orbit, space tethers, very sensitive measuring instruments, and a whole range of interesting and sometimes quite strangely behaved mechanical oscillators. I’m particularly interested in supervising projects in the mathematical modelling of dynamical systems, and this covers a wide area of applications, and I’m also keen to supervise projects in control systems and control theory.
