After another successful and well attended seminar last year, the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, in cooperation with ASME Europe, is about to organize the 16th Blade Mechanics Seminar. It will take place on September 14, 2011 and will be held in a similar theoretical and practical framework with a variety of interesting topics.     

Dr.-Ing. Thomas Krueger - Group Head for Tools & Methods Alstom Power, Baden, Switzerland - will give the keynote presentation on: "Impact of Rotordynamics on Blade Vibrations".

The unchanged key target is to offer a platform for know-how and experience exchange among engineers from various turbomachinery companies. The Blade Mechanics Semnar aims to answer the participants's needs coming from their daily work on axial and radial bladed discs of aero- and heavy-duty engines. All presentations will be given in common engineering terms by using comprehensible mathematics.

We offer this event in coordination with Sulzer Innotec organizing the one-day Sulzer Turbo Machinery Technology Day, which takes place on 15 September 2011. This event is open for all working in the field of Turbo Machinery. The purpose of the event is to give an overview of the Sulzer activities and services in Turbo Machinery and mainly to offer a platform to exchange information and experience among experts in Turbo Machinery within Sulzer and beyond. The two events are organized on successive days in order to enable the participants to attend both events without additional travelling.
