Advanced Materials for Applications in Acoustics and Vibration
Call for Papers
Research in advanced materials is progressing on many fronts with significant developments in composite, smart and nanoscale materials. Industrial applications have also benefited from advances in material science and engineering. Substantial work, however, lies ahead to integrate advanced materials in engineering applications.
This conference is bridging the gap between research and application by bringing together regional and international researchers and engineers to present and discuss recent developments in utilizing advanced materials in applications related to acoustics and vibration. It provides a forum for disseminating the latest research findings in material development, modeling, and testing under service loads and environments, derived from real-life applications in which acoustics and vibrations play a major role in their design and performance.
The main topics of the special issue include but are not limited to:
- Smart materials
- Composite materials and structures
- Nanocomposites
- Theoretical and computational methods
- Nonlinear Modeling and Analysis
- Experimental and measurement techniques
- Aircraft and vehicle noise
- Environmental and occupational noise
- Vibroacoustics
- Structural dynamics
- Active vibration and acoustic control
- Smart materials in active and passive control
- Recent developments in vibrations and acoustics modeling
Authors of selected papers from the International Conference on Advanced Materials for Applications in Acoustics and Vibrations (AMAAV) to be held in Cairo, Egypt, during 04—06 January 2009 (http://www.amaav.org/) will be invited to submit their papers for consideration with the view to be published in this special issue of the AAV journal. Also, this issue welcomes all contributions related to the topic regardless they were presented in the conference or not. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed.
Authors should follow the Advances in Acoustics and Vibration manuscript format described at the journal's site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aav/.
