    Differential-Geometric Methods in Multibody Dynamics, Non-Linear Dynamics and Control

    ( Call for Papers pdf)

    Papers are solicited in the area of differential-geometric methods in multibody dynamics, non-linear dynamics and control. Differential-geometric methods in multibody dynamics, non-linear dynamics and control are the subject of extensive ongoing research. Non-linear control is inherently built on differential geometric and Lie-algebraic methods. The beneficial potential of such concepts for modeling, analysis and simulation of mechanical and mechatronic systems is gradually recognized. While differential geometry gains much insight into the nature of multibody systems, computational methods for the simulation, e.g. manifold concepts or integration on Lie-groups, are still under investigation.
    The aim of the symposium is to bring together experts from different areas, such as multibody and non-linear dynamics, control of dynamical systems, numerical methods for control and simulation, but also those 'multidisciplinary' experts that will inspire the subject. Contributions to analytical dynamics, motion planning and control, as well as to geometric integration methods are also invited. Application papers dealing with robotic manipulators, aerospace applications, non-holonomic multibody systems, electromechanical systems and biomechanical systems are especially welcome.

    Papers must be submitted electronically in a PDF format as described in the IDETC 2009 website before February 27, 2009 (Please note that this is a new deadline!). All manuscripts will be reviewed and, if accepted, the associated technical paper will be published in the conference proceedings on CD-ROM.

    Dynamics in Rotating Machinery
    ( Call for Papers pdf)

    High technology rotating machines represent strategic stakes in our societies and they play a predominant role in the progression of Transport, Energy and Equipment. Research into their dynamic behavior helps manufacturers to meet numerous challenges such as reducing costs and nuisances and increasing and optimizing performances. This all leads to better efficiency, comfort, miniaturization, reliability, safety and sustainable development.

    Papers are solicited in all new aspects of dynamics in rotating machinery. The approaches could be analytical, numerical and experimental. Applications are concerned with laboratory and field investigations and industrial products. The topics of interest are (but not restricted): modal testing and identification, dynamic stability, non linear phenomena, parametric excitations, signal processing, interactions (rotorstator, torsion-bending, fluid-structure, electromechanical), active and passive control techniques, micromachines, composite rotor, disk assembly, and case studies.

    Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format as described in the IDETC 2009 conference web page ( http://www.asmeconferences.org/IDETC09/) before February 27, 2009 (Please note that this is a new deadline!).
    All manuscripts will be reviewed and, if accepted, the associated technical paper will be published in the conference proceedings on CD-ROM. For further information, contact the organizers of the symposium:
