VICKSBURG, Miss.—ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) provided leadership to the recent publication of The Shock and Vibration Information Analysis Center (SAVIAC), Volume 7, Issue 2 of the Critical Technologies in Shock and Vibration journal.
SAVIAC is a clearinghouse for technical information exchange among U.S. government agencies, private industry and academics concerned with the structural dynamics and physical operating environments of structural and mechanical systems. SAVIAC is the oldest forum for shock and vibration within the Department of Defense (DOD) at more than 50 years old. Currently, SAVIAC is managed by ERDC, which also provides the SAVIAC director.
ERDC GSL’s Dr. Kent T. Danielson serves as the SAVIAC director, and Dr. James T. Baylot is the journal’s managing editor. Dr. Sam A. Kiger, University of Missouri and formerly of ERDC, is the journal’s editor-in-chief.
The recent issue, dated Sept. 14, includes seven articles written by GSL authors, the U.S. Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center, and the Munitions Directorate, U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.
Established by the U.S. Navy on Dec. 20, 1946, as a vehicle for technology exchange to support Naval ship shock and vibration research, SAVIAC transitioned from Navy management to Army management in May 1996 and is supported by the Navy, Army, Air Force, Department of Energy, and other DOD agencies.
