Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) is one of China’s premier learning and research institutions which now develops into a comprehensive university especially featured with Aerospace Engineering. Ever since it was established in 1952, we have strived to conduct world-level research and education system. 67 years’ history witnesses its unremitting efforts and remarkable achievements.

Academia and education at NUAA represent strong capacity among all the universities in China. It has acquired national status through the quality of its excellent research work, especially in the areas of Aerospace Engineering, mechanics, Electromechanics, Economy and Management, etc.

Our university’s laboratories are a constant source of new ideas, especially in the fields of Aircraft Design, Dynamics, Mechanics, Manufacturing, Automation, and Unconventional Machining, etc. Through diverse research and teaching activities, we are striving to provide the highest quality of educational experience for students to meet the current needs of society, endowing them with a passport to the professional world and cultivating them into future pioneers in the fields of science and technology.

State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures

The State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures (SKLMCMS) was established in 2011. SKLMCMS is one of the most representative academic research institutions of China in the field of Aerospace Structural Mechanics and Control. The Laboratory is recognized as the leader in the fields of aircraft structural dynamics and control in China. Its smart structures and structronics research group is among the leading research groups in the world. It is also one of the pioneer institutes in the research of aircraft structural strength. SKLMCMS has initialized many new research fields in China, such as the Aviation Smart Materials and Structures, Vibration and Precision Drive Technologies, Nonlinear Dynamics and Control, and Micro-Nano Mechanics.

The research areas of SKLMCMS include structural dynamics and control, the strength of mechanical structures, vibration utilization, and precision drive, micro-nano mechanics as well as smart materials and structures. inspired by the severe and demanding operational environments for high performance aircraft and technical challenges in newly emerged materials, structures and processes, especially the trending of integrations among new materials, new structures and multiple functions, the Mission of SKLMCMS is devoted to develop innovative theories and break technical bottlenecks in aerospace sciences and technologies related to the fields of structural dynamics and control, strength of light structures and smart structure systems in order to support national priorities, and promote industrial progresses.
