Journal of Vibration Testing and System Dynamics

Book excerpt: Vibration Testing and System Dynamics is an interdisciplinary journal serving as the forum for promoting dialogues among engineering practitioners and research scholars. As the platform for facilitating the synergy of system dynamics, testing, design, modeling, and education, the journal publishes high-quality, original articles in the theory and applications of dynamical system testing. The aim of the journal is to stimulate more research interest in and attention for the interaction of theory, design, and application in dynamic testing. Manuscripts reporting novel methodology design for modelling and testing complex dynamical systems with nonlinearity are solicited. Papers on applying modern theory of dynamics to real-world issues in all areas of physical science and description of numerical investigation are equally encouraged. Progress made in the following topics are of interest, but not limited, to the journal: Vibration testing and designDynamical systems and controlTesting instrumentation and controlComplex system dynamics in engineeringDynamic failure and fatigue theoryChemical dynamics and bio-systemsFluid dynamics and combustionPattern dynamicsNetwork dynamicsPlasma physics and plasma dynamicsControl signal synchronization and trackingBio-mechanical systems and devicesStructural and multi-body dynamicsFlow or heat-induced vibrationMass and energy transfer dynamicsWave propagation and testing
