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
