We conduct research on internal measurement and visualization by analyzing howelectromagnetic waves reflect and propagate inside a structure.Development of non-destructive testing technologies for safety and reliabilityThe surfaces of mechanical parts are processed with various types of coating to withstand severe environments while maintaining their functions. We conduct research on novel coating technologies that give better performance and materials for such technologies.Development of advanced coating technologiesWe developed a novel jerk (derivative of acceleration) sensor by employing a piezoelectric element. Taking advantage of its high-sensitivity of the sensor in high frequency range, we apply the sensor to defect diagnosis system for low-rotating roller bearings for which it is hard to detect vibrations. Development of a practical bearing diagnosis system is performed using unique and simple algorithm for signal processing.Development and application of jerk sensors to equipment inspectionWe conduct research mainly in the field of microfluidics (nanoscale fluid dynamics), such as behavioral analysis of red blood cells flowing in a capillary vessel and thermohydraulic analysis in porous structures with minute void spaces, by employing new computational methods called Lattice Boltzmann methods. Recently, we have been conducting collaborative research with the Shinshu University School of Medicine regarding flows in living bodies such as blood flow analysis around a cerebral aneurysm.Computational simulation of complex flowsKoh-ichi Sugimoto, ProfessorMechanical Materials and MachiningDevelopment of ultrahigh-strength TRIP-aided steels for next-generation automobiles and hot stamping, as well as evaluation of their characteristicsMasaharu Matsubara, ProfessorFluid Dynamics and TurbulenceExperiments and computation of turbulence and laminar-turbulent transitionYuichi Ikeda, Assistant ProfessorControl EngineeringEstablishment of control theories of non-linear mechanical systems and motion control and cooperative control of automobiles and other vehiclesKosuke Suzuki, Assistant ProfessorComputational Fluid Dynamics, Aeronautical EngineeringDevelopment of numerical methods for moving boundary flows, Study on flapping flight by insectsMasaomi Nishimura, Senior Assistant ProfessorComputational Solid Mechanics and Molecular DynamicsComputational mechanic analysis of amorphous metals and nanocarbon materials by employing methodologies of molecular dynamicsKimitoshi Yamazaki, Assistant ProfessorArtificial Intelligence Robotics and Sensor Information ProcessingBehavioral control of intelligent robots, sensor information processing, and system integrationDaisuke Matsunaka, Associate ProfessorComputational Material Science, Solid Mechanics, and Condensed Matter TheoriesMulti-scale modeling of materials and material design based on first principles calculationsNoboru Nakayama, Associate ProfessorForming Processes, Plastic Forming, and Mechanics of MaterialsDevelopment of novel forming processes and materials, research on medical and engineering collaboration, and development of medical sensorsMasaki Kameyama, Associate ProfessorStructural Mechanics and OptimizationOptimal design of composite structures and research on shape/vibration controls and health monitoringJun-ya Takayama, Associate ProfessorSensing Engineering and Signal Processing for SensingComposition of intelligent sensing systems and establishment of novel sensing and signal processing theories related to such systemsSatoru Sakai, Associate ProfessorRobotics and Control EngineeringMechanics and control of robots, new visual control, and development of robots for use in farmsTatsunori Asaoka, Associate ProfessorThermal Engineering, Heat Transfer Engineering, and RefrigerationResearch on refrigerators with efficient energy use, ice storage systems, and methane hydrateShigeo Fukada, ProfessorPrecision Mechanical Systems and Precision Mechanical ElementsNanometric dynamics and structural theories of ultraprecision positioning mechanism and tribology of precision mechanical elementsYuichi Chida, ProfessorControl Engineering and RoboticsResearch on control theory and its application and development of automatic harvesting robots for use in farmsMasato Yoshino, ProfessorComputational Fluid Dynamics and Transport PhenomenaDevelopment of new computational methods for thermal fluid and analysis of cemplex fluid flow phenomena by using such methodsKazuhiko Sakaki, ProfessorThermal Spraying Engineering and MachiningResearch on coating technologies such as thermal spraying and development of such coating applicationsNobuhiko Henmi, ProfessorPrecision Engineering and MechatronicsResearch on various mechatronic systems such as precision mechanisms, vibration applications, and sensor developmentRecentCareerPathsNissan Motor, Konica Minolta, Amada, Yamazaki Mazak, Makita, Toyota Motor, Toyota Auto Body, Toyota Industries, Honda Motor, Fuji Heavy Industries, Yamaha Motor, Suzuki Motor, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, Hitachi, Shinko Electric Industries, Seiko Epson, Ricoh, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal, Denso, Aisin Seiki, Bridgestone, The Yokohama Rubber, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Central Japan Railway, East Japan Railway, West Japan Railway, Toray, Kyocera, TEPCO, Chubu Electric Power
