During the last decade, significant progress has been made in fields related to multibody
mechanical systems with many applications in aerospace and automobile industries. It is now
widely recognized that the classical equations describing multibody system dynamics must
be derived and presented in a computer-friendly manner. This requires the use of modern
symbolic manipulators and solution algorithms, which can interface in a modular manner with
other types of software in the area of control, finite elements and optimization. Related
developments and applications in solution methods in the field of numerical analysis, software,
hardware platforms, time-integration methods applicable to differential-algebraic systems are
of primary importance to this field. Computer graphics, parallel computing methodologies
extend the scope of applications and help to enhance the accuracy of numerical solution of
large complex multibody systems.
The aim of the symposium is to address the recent development in the field of multibody systems. The themes of the 1999 symposium include, but are not limited to:
The symposium will be held jointly with the 1999 IEEE/CSME International Congress on Dynamics and Control of Systems, with overlapping sessions planned to encourage interaction amount participants. Please submit a maximum of 8-pages article in World Scientific format to each of the following (email preferred):
