80th Shock & Vibration Symposium

OCTOBER 25-29, 2009

SAN DIEGO, CA

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. Over 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 80th Shock & Vibration Symposium was held from October 25-29, 2009 at the Paradise Point Resort in San Diego, CA.  

The featured government agencies were Defense Threat Reduction Agency and Sandia National Labs. 
The featured commercial organization was Spectral Dynamics.
