Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
David Cebon BE, PhD, FREng, FIMechE, is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Research Director of the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium and the Managing Director of Granta Design Limited. He is also a Fellow of Queens' College Cambridge
Professor Cebon leads an active research group concerned with the design and dynamics of heavy vehicle suspensions, road damage and the micromechanics of asphalt failure. He also has interests in the use of computers in engineering design and education. He has written numerous papers on the dynamics of heavy vehicles, traffic instrumentation, road damage and materials information management software.
Research Interests include
- Vehicle dynamics, design of vehicle suspensions using passive and active components.
- Heavy vehicle safety, productivity and fuel consumption
- Damage mechanisms of bitumens and asphalts.
- Damage to road surfaces and bridges caused by dynamic wheel forces of heavy goods vehicles.
- Heavy vehicle 'weigh-in-motion' technology.
- Selection of materials and standard components in design.
- Use of computers in engineering education.
