Our Lab

Welcome to the website of Astar(Advanced Aerostructure Dynamics Research) Lab led by Dr. Zhang. Our Lab is part of the department of Dynamics and Control at Beihang University.

Our group is mainly engaged in the following fields:
• Morphing Aircraft Systems (morphing structures, Guidance and Control, etc.);
• Nonlinear Dynamics (applied in modeling dynamic system, etc.);
• Smart Structures & Control Systems.
