Work description

Department of dynamics and stochastic mechanics deals with an investigation of dynamic systems subjected to the environmental effects emerging in the field of wind and seismic engineering, with emphasis on the extension of the theory of structural reliability. The climatic wind tunnel laboratory falls within the competence of this department.
