Prof. / ABE Masajiro, Asst Prof. / YOKOTA Kazuya
Autonomy of each student is respected and we can study freely. However when we face difficult tasks, we can get many appropriate advices from professor that will help us very much. Our professor also has a humorous aspect, so you can study with comfortable conditions under less stress or pressure.Assistant Professor Yokota became a member of our lab in 2020. He is very kind and helpful to us in our research and personal life.
Research Content
According to subjects, we conduct research with using dynamic numerical analysis and experiments by the following three groups.
HSD (Hybrid Safety System Design and Development) Group
For construction machines working on rough terrain, we are challenging to design and develop hybrid safety systems that can ensure the safety of the machines mainly related to rigid stability and structural failure while cooperating with human.
SDE (Symbiotic Design with Environment) Group
We are researching cargo handling machines used in severe environments such as strong winds and earthquakes. We are aiming to establish design, development and management guidelines for harmonizing these machines with the environment.
GMD (Granular Materials Dynamics based Design) Group
We are exploring optimum design methods based on dynamic analysis for many types of machines dealing with various granular materials such as snow, soil and waste.

A Day in the Lab
We are carrying out projects by each group mentioned above. Beside the project theme of the entire group, individual research theme is given to each member. The highest grade students become project leaders to promote research. According to each research theme, students autonomously make detailed research plan and put experimental and/or numerical analysis into effect with mutual guidance.
Regularly, we have meeting and seminar once in every week. Then, we discuss about the status and progress of research and sometimes exchange views about related research trends abroad with our professor. There is no core time, so the students can study freely with self-management. We also plan and practice various events such as parties or summer trip at special occasion for deepening our member's friendship.
