About IVSN
The Institute of Vibration, Shockand Noise (IVSN) was found in 1978 and also is the one of the first PhD-awarding branches andthe state Key disciplines. In 1995 the State Key Lab of Vibration, Shock andNoise was found here. It’s famous in China and overseas as a scientificresearch institute and an advanced technological talent cultivation base. IVSNis oriented to the basic research and application studies of vibration, shockand noise of mechanical systems, as well as the associated signal processingand intelligent maintenance. The ultimate goal, aiming at the construction ofour national economy, is to develop frontier theories, methods and technologiesof vibration, shock, noise and fault diagnosis through theoretical study andexperimental analysis.VSN now has 36 faculties, of which 13 areprofessors, 6 are associated professors and 2 are advanced engineers.Professor WeiKang Jiang is the current director of the institute andProfessor FuCai Li is the secretary of the Party branch. We also have one Chiefscientist of ‘973’ project, two Distinguished Professors of Chang JiangScholars Program and two Distinguished Young Scholars of National ScienceFund.Up to now, more than 200 students awarded PhD degreeand more than 300 students awarded master’s degree here. Two students awardedthe third and fifth National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation respectively. Fourstudents awarded Shanghai National Excellent Doctoral Dissertations and so on.Now about 70 PhD degree candidates and about 80 master’s degree candidates aredoing their research work.We have been undertaking a number ofimportant projects since its foundation, such as the State Key FundamentalResearch Programs, National High-Tech Research and Development Program,  National Natural Science Foundation projects(NSFC), International Cooperation and Exchange projects, pre-studied project of“973” Program, major projects of National Key Technologies R&DProgram, and major and key projects of Science and Technology Committee ofShanghai, etc.
