happyman

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The twelfth conference in this series will be held at The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center on the Virginia Tech campus on June 1-5, 2008. The scope of the conference includes:

·Multibody dynamics: rigid and flexible multibody systems, impact and contact mechanics, solution of DAE, vehicle and tire modeling, railroad vehicle dynamics, biomechanics application, computer algorithms,
·MEMS,
·Dynamics of composite structures,
·Adaptive structures,
·Fluid/structure interactions,
·Nonsmooth dynamics,
·Multi-scale dynamics,
·Parametric vibrations: single- and multi-frequency excitations of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems,
·Computational techniques: efficient algorithms, use of symbolic manipulators, integration of symbolic manipulation and numerical methods, use of parallel processors,
·Experimental methods: benchmark experiments, measurements in hostile environments,
instrumentation techniques,
·Influence of nonlinearities on control systems, and
·Identification of nonlinear systems.

Authors will have the option of submitting full-length papers to be considered for publication in NONLINEAR DYNAMICS or THE JOURNAL OF VIBRATION AND CONTROL. To accelerate the reviewing process, we will select referees from those who will attend the conference and mail the manuscripts to them before the meeting.
