Acoustics and Vibration of Mechanical Structures – AVMS-2021 Proceedings of the 16th AVMS, Timisoara, Romania, May 28-29, 2021

This book is a collection of contributions presented at the 16th Conference on Acoustic and Vibration of Mechanical Structure held in Timisoara, Romania, May 28, 2021. The conference focused on a broad range of topics related to acoustics and vibration, such as noise and vibration control, noise and vibration generation and propagation, effects of noise and vibration, condition monitoring and vibration testing, modelling, prediction and simulation of noise and vibration, environmental and occupational noise and vibration, noise and vibration attenuators, biomechanics and bioacoustics. The book also discusses analytical, numerical and experimental techniques applicable to analyze linear and non-linear noise and vibration problems (including strong nonlinearity) and it is primarily intended to emphasize the actual trends and state-of-the-art developments in the above mentioned topics. The primary audience of this book consist of academics, researchers and professionals, as well as PhD students concerned with various fields of acoustics and vibration of mechanical structures.

Nicolae Herisanu is currently professor at University Politehnica Timisoara, Romania (UPT) where he taught and researched in the fields of theoretical and applied mechanics, acoustics and vibration for 30 years. He wrote together with Vasile Marinca three outstanding monographs published by Springer in 2011, 2015 and 2021. For the second monograph, he was awarded the prize of the Romanian Academy in 2017. He is currently a member of the editorial board of several reputable journals. He was involved in many national and international research projects.
