Dr Y P Xiong is Associate Professor within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Yeping XIONG is currently an Associate Professor in the Fluid Structure Interactions Research Group within the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment of the university and Director for Faculty Joint Programme with China. Previously she was Director of Maritime MSc Programme for 6 years. Prior to join the University of Southampton in 2001, she was Full Professor since 1996 in the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Shandong University, China. She has been an elected member of EPSRC Peer Review College since 2003, International Committee Member of ISSC (International Ship & Offshore Structures Congress) since 2009, member of ASME, member of International Institution of Acoustics & Vibration, and invited reviewer for many international journals. She has published over 160 papers in refereed Journals and Conference Proceedings.
Her research interests cover structural dynamics, active/passive/hybrid vibration control, vibratory power flow theory and analysis approaches, linear/nonlinear vibrations, structure-control interactions, vehicle-bridge interactions, fluid-structure interactions, vibration energy harvesting, smart material and structures, topology optimizations, dynamic modelling and numerical simulations. These interests are reflected in her research undertaken such as EU FP7 ADAM4EVE, EPSRC, EU-MARSTRUCT, KTN SMART.idea award, LRET UTC, IHI Japan collaborative project, RAE Major Award etc. addressing vibration problems in linear and nonlinear dynamic coupling systems; vibration energy transmission, dissipation, absorption and control mechanism using her developed power flow theory and analysis approaches; ride comfort of high-speed craft considering human factor, hybrid vibration isolation and control, sloshing behaviour and transient responses of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas ) carriers considering fluid-structure interactions, smart Magnetorheological Elastomer (MRE) materials, and smart structures.
Career history
She became Assistant Professor after obtained her BSc (Hons) with Distinction in Solid Mechanics in 1982 and then studied MSc in 1985 in Shandong University in China, where she joined the Engineering Faculty in 1988 after received her MSc degree in Solid Mechanics. She received her PhD degree in Structural Dynamics and Vibration Control in 1996 working on power flow transmission mechanism and optimal control of complex dynamic coupling flexible systems subject to multiple excitations. She became Lecturer in 1991, Associated Professor in 1993 and Full Professor in 1996 in Shandong University, China. She was awarded the Shandong Science and Technology Progress Prizes on three occasions in 1992 and 1994, Top Ten Distinguished Lecturer Award in 1994, Outstanding Young Scientists Research Achievements Award in 1996 in Shandong Province, Teaching Awards on four occasions in Shandong University. Professor Xiong was elected Councillor of Chinese Society of Vibration Engineering, Committee Member of the Structural Vibration Control, President of Shandong Society of Vibration Engineering. In 1999, Professor Xiong visited the School of Engineering Science, University of Southampton funded by the Royal Society working on power flow analysis of complex coupling vibration system and its applications. She joined the University of Southampton as Senior Research Fellow in 2001.
