Multifunctional
Structures
​
Laboratory.

Welcome to MSL at Kansas State University.

The Multifunctional Structures Laboratory (MSL) is directed by Dr. Jared Hobeck - Assistant Professor and Burk-Ice Keystone Research Scholar - in the Alan Levin Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering Department at Kansas State University. The research performed at MSL ultimately seeks to develop advanced structural systems capable of active or passive vibration suppression, monitoring their own structural integrity, remembering extreme or traumatic events, providing advanced damage detection warnings, wirelessly transmitting data, environmental sensing, and scavenging enough ambient energy to power the entire system making it automated and self-sustaining. Structures with these capabilities will have unprecedented safety, performance, and reliability thus drastically reducing inspection and maintenance costs for industries including aerospace, automotive, and civil infrastructure.
