2016/17 ACADEMIC SUPPORT
The 2016/2017 Academic Support group constituted namely of an acting "Client", Guidance Adviser & Colleague who's roles were undertaken by a sole individual, Prof M. Cartmell. The group would like to extend gratitude for the support offered by Prof Cartmell.
​
In the interest of cross promotion, please see the information below with respect to Prof Cartmell's on-going research & fields of interest.
Further information in regards to Prof Cartmell's activities can be found on the Strathclyde University Knowledge Base, here.

Academic Support Group Overview
Research Interests;
​
I have a deep interest in the mathematical modelling of the dynamics of mechanical systems, with particular emphasis on theoretical oscillators, momentum exchange space tethers, mechanical vibration, and novel spacecraft propulsion systems.
Teaching Interests;
​
I have taught all levels of mechanical engineering dynamics within the UK undergraduate curriculum and have also had experience of teaching differential equation theory within courses in engineering mathematics and of teaching some aspects of mechanical engineering design. I am the Director of Education in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Industrial Relevance;
​
I'm interested in applying my theoretical understanding of engineering dynamics to industrial problems & I welcome industry enquiries.
Academic / Professional qualifications;
​
I am educated to Ph.D. level (University of Edinburgh, 1984) and am a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and a Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
​
Research areas;
