Objectives and Topics

Multibody dynamics is an exciting area of mechanics, which merges various disciplines such as structural dynamics, multiphysics modeling, computational mathematics, control theory, and computer science in order to deliver methods and tools for the virtual prototyping of complex mechanical systems. Multibody dynamics plays a central role in the modeling, analysis, simulation, and optimization of mechanical systems in a variety of fields and for a wide range of applications. As new methods and procedures are being proposed at a fast pace in academia, research laboratories, and industry, it becomes important to provide researchers in multibody dynamics with appropriate venues for exchanging ideas and results. The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics was initiated in 2003 to address these needs. Since then, the conference has been held every two years at rotating locations.

The conference focuses on all aspects of multibody dynamics. The topics of the conference include, but are not restricted to:

Authors are invited to submit individual contributions related to any of the conference topics. Submissions and conference registration must be performed electronically.
