Petter Juell Nåvik

About

Petter is currently employed as a adjunct associate professor in the structural dynamics group at the Department of Structural Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. His main tasks are to investigate general structural dynamics and the structural dynamics of railway catenary systems and the pantograph-catenary interaction. The catenary research is in continuation of his PhD thesis and post doc. His research activity includes both numerical analyses and field studies.

Petter’s research interest include: structural dynamics, dynamics of railway catenary systems, timber dynamics, structural monitoring, operational modal analysis, finite element modelling, amongst others.
