Vibration problems dealing with advanced Mathematical and Numerical
Techniques have extensive application in a wide class of problems in aeronautics, aerodynamics, space science and technology, off-shore engineering and in the design of different structural components of high speed space crafts and nuclear reactors. Different classes of vibration problems dealing with complex geometries and non-linear behaviour require careful attention of scientists and engineers in pursuit of their research activities. Almost all fields of Engineering, Science and Technology, ranging from small domestic building subjected to earthquake and cyclone to the space craft venturing towards different planets, from giant ship to human skeleton, encounter problems of vibration and dynamic loading.
This being truly an interdisciplinary field, where the mathematicians, physicists and engineers could interface their innovative ideas and creative thoughts to arrive at an appropriate solution, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, India, a premier institution for education and research in engineering, science and technology felt it appropriate to organize 8th International Conference on “Vibration Problems (ICOVP-2007)” as a part of its sesquicentenary celebration. The conference created a platform and all aspects of vibration phenomenon with the focus on the state-of-the art in theoretical, experimental and applied research areas were addressed and the scientific interaction, participated by a large gathering including eminent personalities and young research workers, generated many research areas and innovative ideas.
This proceedings being published by Spinger containing good number of
scientific research articles and state-of-the art lecture by the distinguished
scientists and engineers across the globe will definitely be a good reference for the scientists who would be working in the relevant field in theoretical,
experimental and applied research areas.
We express our sincere thanks and gratitude to all the guests, participants,
speakers, sponsors and supporters for their kind patronage and valued cooperation to make the conference a grand success. Special thanks are due to Ministry of Human Resources, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Govt. of India, Centre for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP), Kolkata, India for their kind cooperation and support for the conference and making the publication of the proceeding a reality
