It is indeed a vast area, which comprehends not only Mechanical Engineering but also Civil, Aeronautical and other related fields. All subjects are welcome within this umbrella, although the organisers would like to give relevance to some topics in particular. In what structural dynamics is concerned, the main topics considered here have to do with modal analysis and testing, validation and updating of numerical models, as well as new developments in experimental techniques, in the modelling of damping, structural health monitoring, active control, smart materials, nonlinear dynamics, rotating machinery and vibro-acoustics.

It is anticipated that the conference will appeal to a large number of people from different fields of study and activity, both in academia and industry.
