Overview

  • The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics is an event which takes place every two years and which attracts the best researchers in multibody dynamics in the world. A publication collecting the most important and influential papers provides a unique opportunity to present to a broad audience the state of the art in this field.
  • Springer has published a similar collection for the two previous editions of this series of conferences, namely the one of 2003 in Lisbon and the one of 2005 in Madrid. A similar book for the 2007 conference in Milan creates a book series which accompanies the conference series, something which is not presently available in the multibody dynamics community. In fact, although also the ASME organizes a multibody conference in the USA which is well attended, there is not a similar book series accompanying that conference.

Part of the book series: Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (COMPUTMETHODS, volume 12)

About this book

Multibody Dynamics is an area of Computational Mechanics which blends together various disciplines such as structural dynamics, multi-physics - chanics, 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 today a central role in the modeling, analysis, simulation and optimization of mechanical systems in a variety of ?elds and for a wide range of industrial applications. The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics was ini- ated in Lisbon in 2003, and then continued in Madrid in 2005 with the goal of providing researchers in Multibody Dynamics with appropriate venues for exchanging ideas and results. The third edition of the Conference was held at the Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy, from June 25 to June 28, 2007. The Conference saw the participation of over 250 researchers from 32 di?- ent countries, presenting 209 technical papers, and proved to be an excellent forum for discussion and technical exchange on the most recent advances in this rapidly growing ?eld.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This collection is to provide the international multibody dynamics … with an up-to-date view on the state of the art in this rapidly growing field of research which now 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 industrial applications. … It is a must read for engineers and researchers … . The authors’ researches are impressively thorough and their presentations … are a masterpiece." (Current Engineering Practice, Vol. 12, 2009)
