ICOVP conference series bring together researchers investigating vibration-related problems in science and engineering providing an international forum for the present the state-of-the-art in this increasingly broad scientific domain including the following topics (but not limited to):
• Mathematical Modelling
• Experimental Techniques
• Computational Methods
• Nonlinear and Stochastic Dynamics
• Structural Dynamics
• Wave Problems
• Neurodynamics
• Acoustics
• Fluid-Structure Interactions
• Identification and Modal Analysis
• Signal Processing
• Dynamics of Rotating Systems
• Structural Health Monitoring
• Vibration Control and Isolation
We strongly believe that ICOVP-2013 will have a significant impact on the development of contemporary analytical, numerical and experimental methods in vibration problems, and will also create an opportunity for opening a forum for discussion and collaboration amongst the participants.
