EUROMECH Colloquium 495
Advances in simulation of multibody system dynamics
18-21 February 2008, Bryansk, Russia

General Information: After the Colloquium:

Scope

The scope of the colloquium covers new developments in multibody system (MBS) dynamics: advanced methods of generation and solving equations of motion; new approaches in simulation of hybrid flexible/rigid MBS and electromechanical systems; algorithms for parallel computations and their implementations; recent applications to engineering systems (rail and road vehicles, wheel and walking robots etc.); efficiency of multibody dynamics software.


Topics

  • Numerical methods in MBS (DAE, stiff equations, evaluation of Jacobians, large systems of equations)
  • Simulation of flexible/rigid MBS (comparison of absolute and relative coordinate formulations)
  • Simulation of electromechanical and mechatronic systems (multiphysics and co-simulation approaches)
  • Mathematical models of force interactions (contact, tyre, fast algorithms)
  • Simulation of rail and road vehicle dynamics
  • Simulations of wheeled robots and walking machines, biomechanical motions of animals and humans
  • Parallel computations in MBS
  • Development of efficient software for simulation of MBS dynamics

It is a major goal of this colloquium to bring together people from academic institutions and from industry and to provide a basis for discussion and exchange of new concepts and ideas to scientists from all over Europe.
