Topics

All major aspects of experimental vibration analysis will be addressed during the conference. Representative subject areas are given below, but are not exhaustive:


• Vibration measurement (transducers, techniques…)
• Sources of excitation (testing machines, traffic loads, ambient excitation)
• Concepts in vibration data analysis (modal analysis, wavelets, non linear, non stationary processes, stochastic methods)
• Vibration measurement in large structures
• Vibration isolation and mitigation (passive damping, semi-active and active control)
• System identification and model updating
• Structural integrity assessment
• Structural monitoring
• Wave propagation
• Methodologies and standards
• Effects of shock and vibration on humans and facilities
• In-situ and laboratory experiments, benchmarks
• Earthquake engineering tests
• Dynamic testing of historical constructions
• Dynamics of railway bridges
• Dynamics of concrete dams
• Dynamics of onshore and offshore wind turbines
