ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM Most machines have one or more rotating parts. Rotating machine elements thus form the backbone of industrial infrastructure and therefore play a pivotal role in the growth and development of the country. Rotor Dynamics is the key in design and maintenance of all such rotating machinery. This area has made tremendous strides in recent years. There is a need to disseminate the knowledge acquired and the progress made in this multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary area. It is important that we discuss this subject at a national level to bring the desired awareness on the advances in this field among the different researchers working in academia, R&D organizations and industry. With this objective the first National Symposium of Rotor Dynamics (NSRD 2003) was held at IIT Guwahati in 2003. The Second NSRD is being organized by IIT Madras in association with The Vibration Institute of India during December 19-21, 2011. The main theme of the symposium is on the recent advancements in rotor dynamics. The highlight of NSRD-2011 is to have talks by a galaxy of invited experts from the academia, research establishments and industries along with the presentation of peer-reviewed articles and posters on several important topics in the area of rotor dynamics. The symposium will provide a forum for exchange of ideas and give directions for future research on Rotor Dynamics. It is planned to have about 25 invited presentations of half an hour duration each and about 40 contributed papers including interactive poster sessions on various themes within the broad area of rotor dynamics.
