7th Intl Conference on  Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques & Short Course Faculty of Engineering Ancona, 19- 22 June 2006

The International Conference on Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques was first held in October 1994 and since its very first edition it has met large consensus among the International Research Community. The Conference aims at creating an active and stimulating forum for sharing current research results and technical advances and for  promoting the development of new systems for laboratory use, field testing and industrial application. For this reason, experts in vibration and acoustics, manufacturers and authorities in the field of optical and non- invasive instrumentation and industrial users of such measurement devices have come from all over the world to present their activities and innovative approaches to vibration measurements.
Given both the increasing world-wide interest in measurement- related issues and the growing possibilities of application of laser vibrometry, not only in the industrial field, and the substantial decrease in the instrumentation costs, for this seventh edition of the event an even greater participation is expected from representatives of both the industrial and the academic fields.

INVITED LECTURES
Invited lectures from recognised authorities in the field of Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques are foreseen.

MEETINGS FOR SCIENTIFIC CO-OPERATION
On the day of the Short Course, June 19, a morning and an afternoon session will be organised for Conference participants to discuss possible scientific co-operations amongst them. Interested people who wish to suggest possible themes for discussion can contact the Conference Secretariat.

EXHIBITION
An exhibition is planned to enable participating organizations to bring their products directly to the attention of potential customers. Leading manufacturers of laser vibrometer systems, holographic equipment and modal and noise analysis systems will exhibit. Additional information can be obtained by returning the Pre-Registration Form.

SHORT COURSE
A one-day tutorial course will be held the day before the Conference in order to provide fundamentals of Laser Techniques for Vibration Measurements and to offer hands-on experience on the most advanced instrumentation. Additional information will be provided upon request.
