Invitation and Call for Papers—INTER-NOISE 2018

Date published: Tags:

INTER-NOISE 2018 will be held in Chicago, USA, at the Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, August 26–29, 2018. The theme of the Congress is Impact of Noise Control Engineering.

INCE-USA will be hosting INTER-NOISE 2018 on behalf of the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE). INTER-NOISE 2018 is also being supported by ASME-NCAD. Planned is a full program of technical presentations, exposition of noise control materials and instrumentation, and the opportunity to establish good networking with peers and others working in the same field.

  • Technical papers in numerous sessions spanning many areas of noise and vibration;
  • A large exposition of noise and vibration control materials, analysis software, and measurement systems and instrumentation;
  • Two plenary lectures and four keynote lectures spanning major topics in noise control engineering and aligning with the theme of the Congress; and
  • A series of short courses on noise and vibration control.
  • More details, including important dates—abstract and paper deadlines and registration—can be found on the INTER-NOISE 2018 website: internoise2018.org.

Charlie Moritz and Joe Cuschieri, Co-Presidents of INTER-NOSIE 2018, and David Herrin and Teik Lim, Technical Co-Chairs, are looking forward to your participation and to seeing you in Chicago, USA.

For answers to your questions send direct email to: secretariat@internoise2018.org.
