Dr. Zilin Zhong is a dedicated researcher whose scholarly contributions span advanced structural dynamics, intelligent materials, and applied artificial intelligence. With 6 h-index, 132 citations, and 13 documents, the research portfolio demonstrates a growing international impact in civil and mechanical engineering domains. His work focuses on the dynamic stability of arch structures, parametric and resonance instability, piezoelectric intelligent structural control, and AI-based recognition techniques, complemented by studies in vocational education. Dr. Zhong has published influential papers in high-ranking journals such as Thin-Walled Structures, Engineering Structures, International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, Journal of Sound and Vibration, and Composite Structures. His investigations include sub-harmonic and simultaneous resonance of thin-walled arches, nonlinear instability of plates and arches under multi-frequency excitation, and stochastic stability of viscoelastic systems. He has also contributed to understanding vibration impacts from metro-induced excitation and dynamic internal forces of arches. Beyond publications, he has developed practical innovations through patents and software, including resonance-based loading devices, piezoelectric transducers for railway vibration energy harvesting, and a track parameter evaluation system. Collectively, his research advances theoretical modeling, experimental validation, and engineering applications in dynamic instability and intelligent structural systems.
