28TH CONFERENCE ON MECHANICAL VIBRATION AND NOISE (VIB)

Welcome to the 28th ASME Conference on Mechanical Vibration and • Vibration Control, Energy Harvesting, and Smart Structures
Noise (VIB)! The VIB Conference is sponsored by the Technical Committee Lei Zuo, Alper Erturk, Ryan L Harne
on Vibration and Sound and supported by the Technical Committee on
• Nonlinear Systems and Phenomena
Multibody Systems and Nonlinear Dynamics, both under ASME’s Design
Engineering Division. The VIB conference began in 1967 and was originally Jose Manoel Balthazar, Paulo B. Goncalves, Young Lee
held in odd-numbered years. The conference is now held annually as part • Vibration and Stability of Mechanical Systems
of the ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences. Chris Cooley, Robert Parker, Stefano Lenci, Tamas Kalmar-Nagy
• Jointed Structures, Contact, Friction, and Damping
The VIB Conference theme is deliberately broad, covering all aspects of Matthew Brake, Aldo Ferri, Matthew Allen
vibratory systems. You will discover a diverse mixture of papers from the
• Wave Propagation and Acoustics
forefront of emerging fields, from traditional and nontraditional academic
research, and from industrial applications. The quality and breadth of Michael J. Leamy, John Judge, Teresa Ryan
papers in this conference series makes it one of the most technically • Rotating Systems and Rotor Dynamics
interesting conferences held by ASME, and one of the best to meet C. Nataraj, Regis Dufour, Paolo Pennacchi, Kshitij Gupta
colleagues from around the world.
• System Identification, Damage Detection, and Diagnostics
Weidong Zhu, Kiran D’Souza
The conference is highlighted by keynote lectures from two eminent
• Industrial Applications of Dynamics, Vibration, and Acoustics
researchers:
Brian Olson, Ronald Couch, Bruce Geist, Matthew Brake
• Emerging Systems and Applications
• Professor Balakumar Balachandran (University of Maryland) –
Nonlinear Oscillations with Noise Stephanos Theodossiades, D. Dane Quinn, Venkat Ramakrishnan
• Professor Massimo Ruzzene (Georgia Tech) – Multifield Interactions
for Programmable Metamaterials

Papers were solicited in symposia covering a range of important vibration
and noise topics. These symposia and the organizers are:

Mike Leamy John Judge
• Dynamics of MEMS and NEMS
