Aims and Scope

The aim of this conference is to bring together academic and industrial experts from the fields of non-linear and structural dynamics, continuum mechanics, materials science, physics, applied mathematics, and mechanical, aerospace, civil and systems engineering to facilitate the mutual understanding of theories and applications of systems with non-smooth interactions such as vibro-impact systems or systems with contact and friction.

The areas covered by this conference include:

• excitation, synchronisation and stabilisation;
• dynamics of machines and processes;
• vibration protection of operators and structures in harsh environment;
• synergistic effects of repeated impacts or friction on solids and granular media;
• non-linear fluid-solid interactions;
• analytical, experimental and numerical methods for the analysis of systems and processes;
• synthesis and optimisation;
• measurements and applications;
• smart utilization of vibration.
