Dynamics Testing & Analysis Workshop

Following the success of the event last year, this is the second workshop in the series.

Dynamics is becoming a crucial part of design and structural understanding in a range of fields. With the ever increasing demands for structures to be faster, stronger, and lighter, the dynamic demands have increased commensurately.

This workshop draws together presentations from leading experts in the Aerospace, Civil, Nuclear, and Oil and Gas industries. The role of both testing and analysis and their relevance to understanding dynamics in their respective sectors will be explored through these presentations, as well as an open forum for relevant case studies and challenges.

Workshop Challenge

As well as the formal presentations there is a session included in the afternoon when delegates will be set a pertinent challenge and then be split into groups to discuss.

Themes

The following themes will be explored and discussed at the workshop -

• Dynamic Finite Element analysis of structures
• Dynamic Testing for: qualification and validation
• Damping of structures
• Structural variability and uncertainty
• New methods for dynamic measurement
• Aerospace, Civil, Nuclear and Oil and Gas sector initiatives in Dynamics

Agenda

A full agenda will be available shortly, however presentations will be given by the following experts:-

Nick Lieven, Dean of Engineering, UoB
Brian Jarvis, Eatec Limited
Trevor Walton, Westland Helicopters & Andrew Halfpenny, nCode International Ltd
Bart Peeters, LMS International NV
Robert Swindell, Bureau Veritas Consulting Ltd
Hugh Goyder, Cranfield University

Who Should Attend?

By covering both test and analysis, the Workshop is relevant to everyone involved in design, testing and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of structures.

The workshop is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS

Venue

The Bristol Laboratory for Advanced Dynamics Engineering (BLADE) is in the middle of the City of Bristol. The £20m facility is a modern structural test and analysis centre. The facility is located within the University of Bristol and is dedicated to collaborative R&D with industry.
