The Structural Dynamics Technical Committee is one of sixty-five technical committees that develop and administer the national technical programs of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Through the Technical Activities Committee (TAC), its Technical Groups and its Technical Committees, the AIAA conducts over twenty technical conferences each year. Other important roles of the AIAA include the support of short courses, scholarships, standards, technical assessments and policy papers. The Structural Dynamics Technical Committee (SDTC) is organized under the AIAA Structures, Design and Test Technical Group. The Technical Group's Deputy Director for Materials and Structures oversees the activities of the Structural Dynamics Techncial Committee. The technical area addressed by the Structural Dynamics Technical Committee is the interactions among aerodynamic, dynamic, elastic, damping, inertial and control forces acting on vehicles and structures. Included are response and stability investigations of linear and nonlinear systems using analytical, empirical and experimental techniques. The Structural Dynamics Technical Committee, through its various subcommittees, participates in organization and planning of national technical conferences and conference sessions, development of education and training aids, information gathering, assessment and distribution, promotion of cross- disciplinary activities, and promotion of candidates for awards and recognition in the structural dynamics field.
