Preface
Special Issue: 11th International Symposiumon Dynamic Problems
of Mechanics – XIDiname
The International Symposium on Dynamic Problems of Mechanics –
DINAME, is held every two years since1986, organized under the
responsibility of the Committee of Dynamics of the Brazilian
Society of Engineeringand Mechanical Sciences (ABCM). It is a
well-established forum for discussion of dynamic problems of
Mechanicsand has traditionally had the participation of researchers
from Brazil and various other countries. The eleventhedition of the
symposium was held from February 28 to March 4, 2005 in Ouro Preto,
Minas Gerais, Brazil, beinglocally organized by the School of
Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Uberl ândia and
co-chaired byDrs. Domingos Rade and Valder Steffen Jr.
One hundred papers were presented in the Symposium, including
eight invited lectures. Twenty-four papers wereselected for the
present special issue, after having been subjected to the standard
peer-reviewing process adopted forthe evaluation of regular papers
submitted for publication in Shock and Vibration.
A special note of gratitude is addressed to all participants
whose attendance and contributions helped to fosterimportant
discussions on issues associated with problems related to vibration
and acoustics, modal analysis, controls,smart structures,
rotordynamics, robotics, nonlinear dynamics and multibody
systems.
Finally, the efforts of Prof. D. Inman, Editor-in-Chief of Shock
and Vibration, in editing this special issue aregreatly
appreciated.
