Profile
Carlos E. S. Cesnik is a Visiting Associate Professor of Aeronautics and
Astronautics. He is currently a faculty member of the Department of Aerospace
Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He specializes
in modeling of advanced structures for multidisciplinary analysis and
design, with emphasis on aeroelasticity.
Professor Cesnik was born and educated in Brazil and earned an Engineering Degree in Aeronautics (1987) and Masters in Aeronautical Engineering (1989) from the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA). He earned his M.S. in Aerospace Engineering (1991), and Ph.D. (1994) from the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1995, he was awarded the Sigma Xi Doctoral Thesis Award for his work on composite beam structural modeling. He has worked as a research engineer at Embraer (Brazil) and as a research fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Professor Cesnik is a Senior Member of the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and serves as a
member of the AIAA’s Structural
Dynamics Technical Committee. As a member of the American
Helicopter Society he serves on the AHS
Dynamics Technical Committee. He also holds membership in the
American Academy of Mechanics. Professor Cesnik has
published over 80 papers in conference
proceedings and journals including the AIAA Journal, Journal of Aircraft,
Journal of the AHS, International Journal of Solids and Structures, Applied
Mechanics Reviews, Journal of Smart Materials and Structures, International
Journal of Engineering Analysis and Design, and Composites Engineering.
Professor Cesnik’s educational and research
interests include vibration and noise reductions of helicopter rotor systems,
active aeroelastic tailoring, and nonlinear active aeroelastic modeling
and analysis with distributed embedded actuation for multidisciplinary
design environments. He teaches structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and
structural design courses.
Professor Cesnik has been a licensed pilot for over 20 years and has flown aircraft such as Piper Cubs, Cessna 152's and 172's, Tomahawks, Warriers, Arrows, and Katanas, as well as various ultra light and homebuilt aircraft.
