The 2008 Leuven Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering will be held from September 15th till 17th in Leuven, Belgium. It is the 23rd international conference in a series of annual courses and biennial conferences on structural dynamics, modal analysis and noise and vibration engineering, organised by the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
The conference provides a forum for engineers, researchers and other professionals active in the field of modelling, analysing, testing and improving the noise and vibration characteristics of mechanical systems and civil structures. The conference combines expertise in the noise and vibration fields by stressing common measurement, modelling, analysis and control technologies. The meeting will provide a further impetus to the cross fertilisation of ideas in both areas
The European Association for Structural Dynamics (EASD), is pleased to announce that the Seventh European Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN 2008 will be held at Southampton University, United Kingdom between 7-9 July 2008. The six previous conferences in the series were held in Bochum (1990), Trondheim (1993), Florence (1996), Prague (1999), Munich (2002) and Paris (2005).
This conference is devoted to theoretical, numerical and experimental developments in structural dynamics and their application to all types of structures and dynamical systems. The conference will reflect the state-of-the-art of structural dynamics and dynamical systems in science and engineering practice and is an opportunity to exchange scientific, technical and experimental ideas.
23 - 26 Apr 2007, Sheraton Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii
The 48th Structures, Structural Dynamics, & Materials (SDM) Conference is sponsored by AIAA, ASME, ASCE, AHS, and ASC. This established conference is a widely acknowledged annual event that provides a unique forum dedicated to the latest development in the collective disciplines of structures, structural dynamics, materials, design engineering, and survivability. The 48th SDM Conference will also host the 15th AIAA/ASME/AHS Adaptive Structures Conference, the 9th AIAA Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference, the 8th AIAA Gossamer Spacecraft Forum, the 3rd AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Specialist Conference, and the AIAA Dynamics Specialist Conference. Plenary presentations will be given by well-known, forward-thinking, invited speakers focused on structures and materials challenges for future aircraft and spacecraft, and potential paths and ideas leading to integrated solutions.
This project addresses methods for numerical simulation of dynamic behaviour of structures. Current industrial procedures for structural product analysis employ deterministic finite element models. But it is generally acknowledged that deterministic models are often oversimplified. Non-deterministic modelling procedures take into account aspects of uncertainty and variability. Scientific research in numerical methods in engineering has brought forward a number of very capable methods to model the effect of variability or uncertainties on technical characteristics of products.
