Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Structural engineering
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Civil engineering

Kenny C. S Kwok mainly investigates Structural engineering, Wind tunnel, Wind speed, Vibration and Mechanics. His study in the field of Wind engineering, Tuned mass damper and Damper also crosses realms of Excitation. The concepts of his Wind tunnel study are interwoven with issues in Geometry, Edge, Roof, Scale model and Wake.

His Wind speed research focuses on Pedestrian and how it connects with Airflow. His Vibration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Perception, Earthquake shaking table, Design standard, Aeroelasticity and Motion simulator. His work on Vortex and Potential flow around a circular cylinder as part of his general Mechanics study is frequently connected to Rod, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Optimization of tuned liquid column dampers (180 citations)
  • Control of Along-Wind Response of Structures by Mass and Liquid Dampers (154 citations)
  • Performance of tuned mass dampers under wind loads (132 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Structural engineering, Wind tunnel, Vibration, Meteorology and Mechanics. His Structural engineering study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acceleration and Aeroelasticity. His Wind tunnel research includes themes of Aerodynamics, Large eddy simulation, Wind speed, Damping ratio and Marine engineering.
