Doctor Mobarak Hossain

Dr. Mobarak Hossain is an accomplished Associate Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Western Sydney University (WSU), Australia. He earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from WSU in 2018, following a First-Class Honours Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET), Bangladesh, in 2010.

With over a decade of combined experience in research, teaching, and industry-engaged projects, Dr. Hossain brings interdisciplinary expertise in Structural Dynamics, Vibration and Acoustic Analysis, Advanced Manufacturing, Tribology, and Coatings Technology. He has previously held academic and research roles at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and the University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia.

His current research focuses on dynamic behavior analysis and health monitoring of mechanical systems using both experimental and computational approaches. His core expertise includes:

• Modal Analysis (natural frequencies, mode shapes)
• Frequency Response Function (FRF) Analysis
• Shock & Impact Testing
• Time & Frequency Domain Signal Processing (FFT, spectrograms)
• Acoustic Analysis & Noise Monitoring
• Machine Fault Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring

Dr. Hossain leads experimental investigations using high-end vibration and acoustics facilities, including:

• Impact Hammer & Modal Testing Setup
• Triaxial and Single-Axis Accelerometers
• 3050-A-060 LAN-XI Data Acquisition Module (Brüel & Kjær)
• BK Connect Software Suite (Brüel & Kjær)
• Type 2250 Handheld Sound Level Meter (Brüel & Kjær)
• Polytec PSV-500 Xtra Scanning Laser Vibrometer
• Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS)

Dr. Hossain has a strong track record of collaboration on industry-relevant research projects, particularly in vibration control, rotating machinery diagnostics, and structural testing. His applied research helps bridge the gap between theoretical mechanics and real-world engineering challenges.

He has published over 32 refereed journal and conference papers, with more than 2,250 citations and an h-index of 13 (Google Scholar). Several of his works are internationally recognized as “highly cited papers” according to Elsevier SciVal.

In education, Dr. Hossain has taught over 20 mechanical engineering subjects at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including Advanced Dynamics of Machines, Vibration & Acoustics, Additive Manufacturing, and Automated Manufacturing Systems. He is passionate about integrating experimental insights and cutting-edge analysis into teaching to prepare students for industry and research careers.
