Objectives and Topics

Multibody dynamics is an exciting area of mechanics, which merges various disciplines such as structural dynamics, multi-physics mechanics, 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 a central role in the modelling, analysis, simulation and optimization of mechanical systems in a variety of fields and for a wide range of applications. As new methods and procedures are being proposed at a fast pace in academia, research laboratories and industry, it becomes important to provide researchers in multibody dynamics with appropriate venues for exchanging ideas and results. To answer these needs, an ECCOMAS Thematic Conference series on Multibody Dynamics was initiated in Lisbon (2003), and continued throughout in Madrid (2005), Milan (2007), Warsaw (2009), Brussels (2011), Zagreb (2013), Barcelona (2015), Prague (2017), Duisburg (2019), Budapest (2021).  This 11th edition is taking place in Lisbon, at the site of its 1st edition, 20 years later.

The Conference focuses on all aspects of multibody dynamics. The topics of the Conference include, but are not restricted to:
