Current Research

Resonance Enhanced Drilling. We aim to develop novel downhole drilling technique based on generating nonlinear resonances between the drill-bit and the drilled formations. The research has been undertaken since 1998 and funded by the Centre for Marine and Petroleum Technology, the Royal Society, BP, European Space Agency, EPSRC (two contracts, one joint with Prof S Mikhalov from the Brunel University), the Scottish Enterprize and ITI Energy. We have developed a small scale experimental rig which demonstrates the concept. Currently I have two PhD students: Joseph Emans and Olusegun Ajibose working in this area. I collaborate with Dr E Pavlovskaia on the fundamental aspects of impact dynamics and we jointly supervise a PhD student, James Ing, who investigates grazing behaviour. In a closely related topic Marcos Silveira, a new PhD student, is investigating drillstring vibrations. In December 2007 ITI Energy has funded a large develpment programme (£4.6m in total) and will involve a number of companies and institutions. The University of Aberdeen's participation in the RED Programme involves six members of academic staff (Prof M Wiercigroch, Drs AR Akisanya, JJ Harrighan, DC Hendry, S He and E Pavlovskaia), a Research and Innovation Officer (Dr R Wakefield), a technician (A Robertson), five Research Fellows (Drs S Aphale, AJ Fenwick, G Karolyi, L Ma and J Wojewoda) and a PhD student (O Ajibose).

Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) of Offshore Risers. The main idea is to apply the Nonlinear Normal Modes approach to reduce the complexity in modeling and analysis of VIV of offshore risers. This should ultimately to produce robust predictions of fatigue life of offshore risers. Our involvement in this area has started only in November 2005 and we have managed to secure a PhD studentship two grants from the Royal Society (a joint project with Brazil) and DTI and MCS International (a KTP award). Currently we have one post doctoral researcher, Dr Narakorn Srinil and one PhD student, Marko Keber working with us.

Vibrational Energy Harnessing using Pendulor Systems. The work which has started in 2001 originates from the parametric pendula operating in rotational regimes. We have developed a novel concept of energy extraction from sea waves and designed a laboratory device which is driven by waves. I collaborate with my University colleagues, Prof JMT Thompson, Drs E Pavlovskaia and J Sieber, and internationally with Professors G Rega (Rome) and S Lenci (Ancona). Recently Bryan Horton, funded by EPSRC, has completed and defended his PhD thesis. Currently I supervise two PhD students working in this area, Richard Morrison, who is working on theoretical aspects of parametric oscillations and Anna Najdecka, who is looking at the synchronization of pendulums systems.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Underwater Acoustics. During my visiting appointments with the University of Delaware in 1994 and 1995, I have been involved in the project of modeling and analysis of the acoustic wave propagation in deep oceans. My efforts in this area has been reinvigorated in November 2004 when Tamas Bodai has joined me as a PhD student and then in February 2006 Dr Alan J Fenwick of QinetiQ has won a Royal Academy of Engineering grant to work with us. Tamas has now defended his PhD and works in industry.

Nonlinear Control of Rotor Systems. The work stems from joint EPSRC funded projects with the University of Glasgow and the Polish Academy of Sciences (three grants) started in 1999 on vibration control using composite structures with SMAs. Currently I work with a post doctoral researcher, Dr Shi-Min Wang from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronomics, who has won 12 months Royal Society fellowship to undertake a study on nonlinear control of rotor system with bearing clearances.
