Our research explores various smart materials (piezoelectric, thermoelectric, solar, electroactive polymers, etc.) for energy harvesting, structural health monitoring, sensing, and actuation. Thrust areas include self-powered biomedical sensing, real-time state detection, and piezoelectric energy harvesting. Additionally, we are interested more broadly in vibrations, structural dynamics, and modal analysis.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2018\/11\/Front_Page_Compilation2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2018\/11\/Front_Page_Compilation2_resized.png\" alt=\"Front_Page_Compilation\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Sponsors<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>We thank our sponsors for supporting our research activities and for providing opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 160px;height: 210px;border: 0px solid #000000;padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;margin: 5px;text-align:center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>AFOSR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpafb.af.mil\/afrl\/afosr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-614 noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2016\/02\/AFOSR_logo-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"AFOSR_logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 160px;height: 210px;border: 0px solid #000000;padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;margin: 5px;text-align:center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;margin-bottom: 6mm\"><strong>NIH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nih.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-614 noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2016\/08\/NIH_Master_Logo_Vertical_2Color.png\" alt=\"NIH_logo\" width=\"150\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 160px;height: 210px;border: 0px solid #000000;padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;margin: 5px;text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>NSF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-614 noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2019\/06\/NSF_Logo_300.png\" alt=\"NSF_logo\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left;width: 160px;height: 210px;border: 0px solid #000000;padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;margin: 5px;text-align:center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;margin-bottom: 6mm\"><strong>Vibration Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vi-institute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-614 noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.tntech.edu\/santon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/115\/2016\/04\/VI-small.jpg\" alt=\"VI_logo\" width=\"250\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the\u00a0Dynamic and Smart Systems Laboratory (DSSL) at Tennessee Tech! &nbsp; The Dynamic and Smart Systems Laboratory is directed by Dr. Steven R.
