The Mechanical Systems Safety Research Division concentrates on the development of the core component technologies necessary for the design and engineering of large and complex mechanical systems based on safety and reliability technology, integrated systems technology, and new mechanical systems based on these technologies. Its main research areas include urban and super-speed magnetically levitated trains, wind turbine systems, dynamic modeling and simulation (M&S) and control technologies for mechanical systems, as well as safety and reliability technologies for mechanical and structural systems.
