International Conference on Vibration Problems
The purpose of the
ICOVP 2023 Conference is to bring together scientists, young researchers and engineers with different
backgrounds, actively working on
vibration problems of engineering both in
theoretical and
applied fields. ICOVP 2023 aims to combine expertise in the vibration field by stressing common
measurement, modeling, analysis and control technologies. The conference provides further impetus for
cross-fertilization of ideas between industry and academia.

successful vibration mitigation in various forms. These include anti-vibration clamp for small bore connection
pipework, structural modification, and stiffening rings, viscous damper, and tuned mass damper installation for
mainline pipework vibration problems related to flow turbulence, flow-induced pulsation, and mechanical
excitation from rotating machineries. Prior to joining the industry, Bazil has developed research studies in
vehicle vibration and ride comfort including measurement of psychophysical, biomechanical, human-seat system
responses and seat effective amplitude transmissibility (SEAT). Bazil has presented and published papers on the
research findings at specialist conferences and in reputable journals including Journal of Sound and Vibration,
