National Symposium on Rotor Dynamics At Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

National Symposium on Rotor Dynamics At Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Most machines have one or more rotating parts. Rotating machine elements thus form the backbone of industrial infrastructure and therefore play a pivotal role in the growth and development of the country. Rotor Dynamics is the key in design and maintenance of all such rotating machinery. This area has made tremendous strides in recent years. There is a need to disseminate the knowledge acquired and the progress made in this multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary area.

It is important that we discuss this subject at a national level to bring the desired awareness on the advances in this field among the different researchers working in academia, R&D organizations and industry. With this objective the first National Symposium of Rotor Dynamics (NSRD 2003) was held at IIT Guwahati in 2003.

The Second NSRD is being organized by IIT Madras in association with The Vibration Institute of India during December 19-21, 2011. The main theme of the symposium is on the recent advancements in rotor dynamics. The highlight of NSRD-2011 is to have talks by a galaxy of invited experts from the academia, research establishments and industries along with the presentation of peer-reviewed articles and posters on several important topics in the area of rotor dynamics. The symposium will provide a forum for exchange of ideas and give directions for future research on Rotor Dynamics. It is planned to have about 25 invited presentations of half an hour duration each and about 40 contributed papers including interactive poster sessions on various themes within the broad area of rotor dynamics.

EXHIBITION

Apart from presentations, there is a plan for a modest exhibition from industries dealing with experimental setup / instrumentation/ software in the related area for display of their latest products.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Prospective authors are requested to submit abstracts (not exceeding 500 words clearly stating the objectives, results etc.) by May 15, 2011. Abstract should also include the title of the paper, name of all the authors along with their affiliation-address , telephone number and e-mail. The number of papers is limited and more importantly, NSRD-2011 symposium aims towards setting directions for future research in Rotor Dynamics. Authors of each accepted abstract would be invited to submit full versions of their manuscripts for peer review. Based on the reviews, some papers would be accepted for oral presentation or for poster presentation.

PROCEEDINGS

The symposium proceedings will consist of invited and contributed articles. The Vibration Institute of India will bring out a special issue of the Journal “Advances in Vibration Engineering” in its volume 12 containing the acceptable papers from this symposium according to the peer review practices of this Journal.
