Forthcoming Institute Conferences

7th International Conference on Modern Practice in Stress and Vibration Analysis

Introduction

First Announcement

The Conference is the seventh in an international series organised by the Stress and Vibration Group of the UK’s Institute of Physics. Starting in Liverpool in 1992 and held every three years, the series is well-established for the presentation of research findings in stress analysis and vibration dynamics. The 2009 Conference will cover all aspects of stress and vibration analysis, with the intention of providing directed focus on the state-of-the-art in theoretical and experimental methodology. The aim of the conference is to bring together physicists, mathematicians, materials scientists and engineers from academia and industry, and to provide a platform for the presentation of creative and novel research findings. The associated discussion will facilitate interchange of ideas and provide guidance for future research direction.

The scope of the Conference is broad and covers the full range of fundamental, experimental and applied research in stress and vibration analysis. The following topical areas are proposed:

• Composite materials
• Computational techniques
• Contact mechanics
• Fatigue and fracture mechanics, damage assessment
• Full/Multi field techniques
• Impact behaviour of materials and structures
• Industrial perspectives – structural, machine systems,rotating systems
• Inverse problems, control of dynamic systems
• Modal analysis
• Modelling of dynamic systems
• Multi-physics approaches
• Non-linear and parametric vibrations
• Optical strain analysis techniques
• Plasticity
• Small scale experimentation
• Signal processing analysis, identification techniques
• Systems involving multiple-scales, full-scale and scalemodel testing
• Stress and vibration in biomechanics
• Thermoelasticity
• Time-dependent behaviour of materials
• Tribological phenomena, friction analysis
• Vibration-based structural testing techniques
• Vibro-impact, vibro-acoustics
