In 2014, the ninth International Fluid Technology Colloquium was held in Aachen.

 

Preface

Ladies and Gentleman,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 9th IFK we are delighted that you have chosen to join us for this year's International Fluid Power Conference. Welcome to Aachen!

The IFK, one of the world's largest scientific conferences on fluid power, unites scientists with industry in an international forum to exchange knowledge in the area of hydraulic and pneumatic drives and control systems. The first conference was held in 1974 in Aachen. Since 1998 the Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Controls (IFAS) at RWTH Aachen University and the Institute of Fluid Power (IFD) at TU Dresden alternately organise the conference every two years.

This year we host 141 scientific contributions and speakers and attendees from 26 countries are registered. A special feature of the 9th IFK is the integrated Digital Fluid Power workshop (DFP) on Monday. In order to provide high quality of scientific contributions the authors of this year's scientific papers had the possibility to have their papers reviewed by a board of renowned scientists. Apart from the scientific programme an exhibition of 36 different companies provide the possibility to discover novel fluid power products.

The program begins on Monday morning with a symposium where researchers from mainly universities and other research facilities have the opportunity to present their research projects to a wide international community of scientists. In the evening of the first day all participants are invited to the opening event that marks the start of the exhibition. The second day begins with the opening address followed by three plenary lectures. On Tuesday and Wednesday, there are seven groups of three parallel sessions of presentations covering a wide variety of application and technology oriented topics. In the evening of the second day, the conference banquet is held at the Coronation Hall of the Aachen town hall. The banquet will be followed by an after show party with cool beverages and snacks in the Aula Carolina.

The conference ends with two final lectures and the farewell address on Wednesday afternoon followed by the laboratory party at the IFAS. During the conference, the cultural program offers a possibility to explore the antique surrounding of Aachen and the excursion following the conference on Thursday and Friday invites to learn more about industrial companies now and then.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to all members of the program and organizing committee, scientific advisory board, plenary and keynote speakers, speakers, reviewers, chairmen and exhibitors for their time and commitment helping to conduct another successful and rewarding conference and we hope that you will enjoy the 9th IFK in Aachen.

Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. H. Murrenhoff
