JOINT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD ON INTEGRATED MONITORING, DIAGNOSTICS & FAILURE PREVENTION This international conference is jointly sponsored by the DoD Joint Oil Analysis Program Technical Support Center (JOAP-TSC), the Society for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT) and the University of Wales, Swansea. The JOAP-TSC is hosting the conference at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Mobile, Alabama on April 22 through 26, 1996. The joint conference provides an effective means for the interchange of ideas and technology among maintenance, condition monitoring, diagnostics and failure prevention communities. The sponsors share the common goal of maximizing the service life of machinery and structures at minimum cost without compromising availability or safety. The conference is being planned as a TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE for methods, techniques, hardware and software currently available for achieving this goal. The conference will promote synergistic applications of technologies and will enhance cooperation among the various military, commercial and professional organizations in the United States and abroad. The technical program will include formal paper sessions, workshops, seminars, courses and exhibits. The presentations will include research, development, applications and case histories in the fields of machinery and lubricant condition monitoring, nondestructive testing, lubricant analysis, vibration analysis, performance analysis, reliability analysis, failure analysis, maintenance concepts, diagnostics, prognostics, life extension, sensors technology and more. Anyone concerned with any of these areas should plan to attend this meeting.
