Tarcisio Marinelli Pereira Silva

Visiting researcher combining nonlinear piezoelectric circuits with nonlinear mechanical structures for vibration control and energy harvesting. Advisor: Professor Alper Erturk.

Internship in the loads and aeroelastics department in Toulouse, France, developing methods for aerodynamic corrections for the A350 aircraft.

Deliver of two unfinished projects from the Ph.D. One project uses Arduinos to create smart and adaptive vibration control systems, while the second project is the practical application of an isolator that provides a second order decay in the transmissibility function.

Practical applications of nonlinear electrical circuits as vibration control devices on linear and nonlinear mechanical structures.

Development of finite elements numerical model, programming on Matlab/Simulink, and development of passive and semi-passive piezoelectric circuits

Especialization in the field of aeroelasticity, doing two undergraduations researches to develop computational models and an experiment for flutter analysis and suppression.
