TECHNICAL
AREAS COVERED BY THE EIS
Engineering Integrity Society
The EIS consists of a number of associated groups, each focusing on a particular
area of engineering expertise.
The Durability and Fatigue Group
This group provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge on the application
of modern theory and practice in all matters relating to the durability and
fatigue performance of engineering structures. Recent seminars have covered
materials data, multiaxial fatigue, fatigue of composites, cast irons, aluminium
alloys and cumulative damage.

The Simulation, Test & Measurement Group
Simulation and laboratory testing are increasingly seen as key elements in the
product design and development process and the activities of this group address
these subjects.
The group is concerned with the philosophy, technical concepts and practice of data collection and analysis techniques and simulation testing in a laboratory environment. All aspects of the measurement and interpretation of service duty, including transducers, instrumentation, measurement systems, strategies and analysis techniques, are covered. The area of simulation and testing addresses items such as functionality, durability and fatigue of components, systems and complete vehicle and structures. The group holds a number of one day technical meetings each year, a one-day annual 'Instrumentation Analysis and Testing Exhibition' and a two-day combined 'Conference and Testing Equipment and Services Exhibition'.

The Noise, Vibration
and Human Perception Group
This group provides a meeting place for engineers to exchange information and experience in these important areas. The group has expanded its range of activities in recognition of an increased interest in the human response dimension of most noise and vibration tasks and to include other human response matters. The aims of the group are to provide a forum to promote undrstanding and expertise in our areas, ranging across industry. . The group holds regular technical seminars and workshops.
