biography
After his graduation from the Technical University of Lodz in Poland, Dr Krodkiewski joined its Institute of Applied Mechanics in 1964. From the same University, in 1971, he obtained his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering. Since 1981 he has worked for The University of Melbourne and currently, as a senior fellow, is responsible for teaching Mechanics of Rigid Bodies, Dynamics of Machines and Dynamics of Rotors.
Dr Krodkiewski is a member of the Australian National Committee
for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms and the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers
research interests
Dr Krodkiewski is researching the area of dynamics of rotors. Together with Prof. Z. Parszewski he has developed an approach to modelling, analysis and synthesis of complex rotor systems in the configuration parameters domain. Currently he is working on active control of vibrations of rotor systems by means of the active oil bearings with flexible sleeves. The developed research laboratory within The Department of Mechanical Engineering allows the dynamic behaviour of a rotor system to be experimentally investigated.
