Dr Barry Gallacher gave a keynote seminar at the EUROMECH "time dependent systems" conference which took place earlier this month. The title of Dr Gallacher’s talk was "The exploitation of parametric excitation in MEMS gyroscopes and magnetometers" and represents work carried out over several projects by Dr Gallacher, his colleague Dr Zhongxu Hu and postgraduate researchers Kiran Harish and Harry Grigg.
EUROMECH (European Mechanics Society) is an international non-governmental non-profit scientific organization. The objective of the Society is to engage in all activities intended to promote in Europe the development of mechanics as a branch of science and engineering. Mechanics deals with motion, flow and deformation of matter, be it fluid or solid, under the action of applied forces, and with any associated phenomena. Activities within the field of mechanics range from fundamental research on the behaviour of fluids and solids to applied research in engineering. The approaches used comprise theoretical, analytical, computational and experimental methods.
