報告摘要：

This talk provides a perspective on how “vibration” as a phenomenon associated with destruction, noise, surface roughness, machine parts fatigue, parts loosening and mental fatigue can be tuned into a phenomenon to help human existence. The presentation will show how engineering and technology can fight “Evil” with “Evil” for safer and quieter products. Today’s “vibration” changes the scope from being an “evil” to an essential phenomenon to serve mankind: structural stress relief by vibration, biomedical imaging techniques and medical therapies, to cite a few.  In some applications, efforts are spent to fight vibration, while in others to produce quality vibration. Some inspirations in using vibration in lung therapies will be elaborated on.

報告人簡介：

Ahmed M. Al-Jumaily, is currently a Professor of Biomechanical Engineering and the Director of the Institute of Biomedical Technologies at the Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand. He holds a PhD and M.Sc. from the Ohio State University, USA and a B.Sc. from the University of Baghdad. He is a FELLOW member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), and a member of 11 more international professional societies. He is the Editor-in- Chief of the ASME Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy and of the ASME monograph series-Biomedical and Nanomedical Technologiesand has been on the editorial and refereeing boards for several international journals. He has published more than 300 papers in international journals and conference proceedings including two ASME books on Vibration and Acoustics in Biomedical Applications and a third one on CPAP devices. He has supervised more than 90 postgraduate students in biomedical applications, vibrations, biomechanics, and electroactive polymers. During his academic career he has forged strong alliances between academia and industries; in particular in the medical devices area, which has resulted in many successful grants and contracts with companies and research organizations. Al-Jumaily’s current research focuses on biomedical applications with particular interest in the application of vibration and acoustics to airways constriction therapies and artery non-invasive diagnostics.
