Our commitment to advancing vibration control technology is unwavering. As part of this ongoing mission to change the landscape of vibration control, we’re pleased to announce Dr Paul Reynolds, CEO of CALMFLOOR and world-leading expert in structural dynamics and control, is presenting at the MNSEA 2025 Annual Seminar & Trade Show. This May, in Minnesota, Paul will share his insights on the latest advancements in active vibration control and its transformative impact on modern building design.
The significance of vibration control in modern structures
For structural engineers, architects and building professionals, the issue of excessive floor vibrations presents an ongoing challenge, causing issues from employee productivity to the operational effectiveness of precision equipment. Conventional approaches, such as increasing mass through additional concrete and steel, impose substantial economic and environmental costs.
CALMFLOOR’s active mass damping (AMD) technology represents a paradigm shift in addressing these challenges. By integrating low-cost, low-carbon, active control solutions, CALMFLOOR eliminates floor vibrations without structural intervention, to deliver sustainable and performance-driven building design.
Dr Paul Reynolds: A leader in structural dynamics
With nearly three decades of experience in vibration engineering, Paul is internationally recognised for his contributions to active vibration control. Formerly Professor at both University of Sheffield and University of Exeter, he transitioned from academia to spearhead the commercialisation of CALMFLOOR’s pioneering AMD technology, bridging the gap between research and real-world implementation.
At MNSEA 2025, Paul will offer expert insights into:
- The fundamental principles and engineering advancements of active mass damping.
- How CALMFLOOR enhances architectural flexibility without compromising structural integrity.
- The substantial carbon reduction benefits, achieving up to a 50% decrease in embodied carbon.
- Real-world applications and case studies demonstrating CALMFLOOR’s impact in high-performance buildings, office developments and laboratories.
