Smart Dynamic Testing COP
Welcome to the SEM/IMAC Smart Dynamic Testing Community of Practice's Wiki.
In this space we strive to motivate Smart Dynamic Testing for industrial applications. Smart Dynamic Testing provides a technical basis that will reduce cost, schedule and risk and increase reliability for dynamic qualification of components and systems.

About the Smart Dynamic Testing Community of Practice
The Smart Dynamic Testing Community of Practice is a group of industrial dynamicists and university researchers originally organized by Professor David Ewins of Imperial College who were seeing industrial needs for shock and vibration qualification being poorly met. The earliest meetings were a workshop in Arlington, Virginia (2018) and IMAC in 2019. Jason Foley from the Air Force Research Lab suggested an industry survey of needs and resulting white papers outlining shorter term research areas. Professor Pablo Tarazaga (now moved to Texas A&M) led efforts at Virginia Tech for an industrial survey of shock and vibration needs. Matt Allen has provided administrative leadership and been editor of one of the white papers. Randy Mayes (retired from Sandia National Laboratories) edited another white paper. Ewins, Tarazaga and Mayes made contributions to the original white paper defining the overarching initial needs for Smart Dynamic Testing. The participating organizations defining areas of need from the industrial survey were the Atomic Weapons Establishment (UK), Air Force Research Labs (USA), Fronhauffer (Germany), Ministry of Defence (UK), National Air and Space Administration (USA), National Security Campus (USA Department of Energy), Naval Surface Warfare Center (USA), Redstone Arsenal (US Army), Rolls Royce Jet Engines (UK), Sandia National Laboratories (USA Department of Energy).
