The technical committee on structural acoustics and vibrations (TCSA) is a vibrant, diverse group of researchers, academics, and practitioners who investigate all topics related to vibrating structures and the accompanying radiation of sound. The committee members study a wide range of topics including mechanical damping, fluid–structure interaction, structural isolation, and complex wave phenomena using analytical, numerical, and experiemental techniques. Due to the wide range of applications in which vibrating structures are found, TCSA is multidisciplinary, with many of our meeting sessions co-chaired with other technical committees. Additionally, our research fields span a range of disciplines in their practice, including industry, academia, and government. This talk will be an introduction to TCSA and will include an overview of traditional topics related to the field. Additionally, an overview of several recent special sessions will be presented.
