The Technical Committee on Vibrations seeks to disseminate research results in vibration and control of smart structures by organizing invited sessions at national and international conferences; by giving lectures, invited talks, and presentations in the broad area of vibration and control of smart structures; to promote the engineering profession via professional meetings of the TC and TC activities; to educate the members especially the graduate students for preparing the academia and professional life in general; to promote research success of the graduate students working in the field, and to serve the needs of the society through research, education, and industry liaisons.

Areas of focus for this technical committee include:

• Structural vibration control
• Smart structures
• Sensing, monitoring and damage mitigation
• Isolation systems
• Dynamics and vibration control education

About TC Paper Awards

The Technical Committee on Vibrations (TCV) of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DSCD) usually issues two Best Conference Paper Award on Vibrations. Papers related to “vibrations” from DSCD sponsored conferences are eligible for nomination. A nomination letter and the final accepted paper should be submitted in early September (details to be announced). Self-nominations are welcome. The awards will be selected by the TCV Award Committee. The results will be announced in the TCV meeting at the annual ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference.

For more information, please contact vibration.dscd.asme@gmail.com.
