PROCEEDINGS OF THE AIVELA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS BY LASER AND NONCONTACT TECHNIQUES
ANCONA, 20- 22 JUNE 2018

Since October 1994 the AIVELA Conference on Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques
established itself as the international forum where research ideas and technological innovation on
Laser Vibrometry were presented and exchanged. Ancona, an ancient and fascinating Italian town
situated on the Adriatic coast, became the biennial destination of the international laser vibrometry
community.
The event was initially focused on Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques and it
immediately met large consensus among the International Research Community. In 2010 the
Scientific Committee decided to widen the topics of the Conference by also including other
noncontact techniques and the name of the event was changed to International Conference on
Vibration Measurements by Laser and Noncontact Techniques.

The Conference aims at creating an active and stimulating forum where current research results
and technical advances can be exchanged and the development of new systems for laboratory use,
field testing and industrial application can be promoted. 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.

The 2018 edition of the event (the 13th edition) was organised by A.I.VE.LA. in collaboration with
the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences of Università Politecnica
delle Marche under the support of EAA, EOS and OSA and will take place in Ancona on 20- 22
June 2018.
The Conference Programme featured three particularly interesting Invited Lectures, delivered
respectively by Prof. David J. Ewins, Imperial College, London, and BLADE- Bristol University,
UK, Prof. Roman Schnabel, Institute for Laser Physics, University of Hamburg and Dr Adam Styk,
Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, followed by high scientific quality presentations
dealing with different measurement techniques: Blade Tip Timing, Continuous Scanning LDV,
Laser Vibrometry, Optical Sensors, Vision Based Techniques, to cite a few. As far as the
Application Areas addressed are concerned, they go from Biomedical Applications to Metrology &
Calibration, Modal Analysis, NDT, Quality and Process Control, Civil Structures Monitoring and
Diagnostics, etc.

A Short Course was held the day before the Conference to provide participants with the
fundamentals of Vibration Measurements through theoretical lectures in the morning held by Prof.
Christian Rembe, Clausthal University of Technology, Germany, and Prof. Emanuele Zappa,
Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and hands-on lab sessions in the afternoon organised by the Group of
Mechanical and Thermal Measurements of Polytechnic University of Marches in collaboration
with Polytec GmbH, GOM GmbH and Julight Srl.

Moreover, as for the past editions of the event, an Exhibition was organised in conjunction with
the Conference, to offer leading manufacturers of laser vibrometer systems, non-contact
instrumentation, systems for vibro-acoustic testing, etc., the opportunity to bring their products
directly to the attention of a selected audience.

Organising the AIVELA event is always quite a challenge and my staff and I have been working at
it with great passion and enthusiasm. But of course none of all this would have been possible
without the valuable contribution of all the authors, speakers, lecturers, exhibitors, supporting
organisations, sponsors, members of the Scientific Committee etc., whom I wish to thank for their
valuable time and effort.

Trusting the AIVELA event will meet your interest, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you
soon in Ancona.
