Supporting Organisations

Multibody Dynamics 2013 is one of the Thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS). Further information on the activities of ECCOMAS is available at http://www.eccomas.org.

The nucleus of modern Zagreb comprises two Medieval towns, Kaptol and Gradec. Today, decorated by urban vegetation of its numerous gardens and parks, Zagreb unites the three former towns which complement each other, forming the characteristic entity of the city of Zagreb. July weather in Zagreb is expected to be sunny, with temperatures rising over 20 degrees Celsius.

Registration fees are expressed in Euro. Early registration applicable if paid before 15 March 2013.

Objective

Conference Chair

Scientific Committee

Organizing Committee

By having its origin in analytical and continuum mechanics, as well as in applied mathematics, control theory and computer science, multibody system dynamics is a branch of computational mechanics that provides a computational platform for dynamic analysis and virtual prototyping for diverse highly-developed industrial products from many fields of contemporary engineering, such as vehicle and railway systems, aeronautical and space vehicles, robotic manipulators, mechatronical and autonomous systems, smart structures, biomechanical applications and nano-technologies.Continuing very successful series of past ECCOMAS multibody conferences that have been organized in Lisbon (2003), Madrid (2005), Milano (2007), Warsaw (2009) and Brussels (2011), the next edition of the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, and organized by the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architectute, from 1st to 4th July 2013.The objective of the Conference is to present state of the art in the theory and applications of multibody system dynamics, to provide a forum for discussions on the relevant research issues and to serve as a meeting point for the international researchers, scientists and experts from academia, research laboratories and industry.The hospitality of the City of Zagreb will contribute to the Conference success by providing culturally interesting and relaxing urban environment of the City that serves as an academical centre of the region for more than last 340 years.
