76th Shock & Vibration Symposium

The annual Shock and Vibration Symposium is the leading forum for the structural dynamics and vibration community to present and discuss new developments and on-going research. The Symposium was established in 1947 and includes both classified and unclassified sessions. The classified sessions allow critical technology and classified (up to secret level) research to be presented in closed forums of cleared US Government and government-contractor researchers. Topics covered at the symposium include shock-ship testing, water shock, weapons effects (air blast, ground shock, cratering, penetration) shock physics, earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and shock and vibration instrumentation and experiment techniques. Between 100 - 200  technical papers are typically presented. Panel discussions address topics such as new software developments or accelerometer isolation problems. Tutorials provide up-to-date technology overviews by leading specialists.

The 76th Shock & Vibration Symposium was held the week of October 30 thru November 4, 2005 at the Hilton Sandestin Hotel in Destin, FL.  The featured government agencies were the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center and The Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Headquarters.  The featured companies were Weidlinger Associates, Inc. and MSC.Software.
