CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND PAPERS

Dear Colleagues, 

It is our pleasure to invite you, your co-workers and students to present your research work at the Colloquium EUROMECH578 ‘Rolling Contact Mechanics for Multibody System Dynamics’ that will take place in Funchal - Madeira - Portugal, at the Hotel VidaMar Resorts Madeira, from 10 to 13 of April 2017.

This Colloquium is organized as a single track event (no parallel or poster sessions) to promote discussion and foster personal scientific relations. The Colloquium will bring together researchers and developers of different background and schools of thought and for the purpose of presentation, discussion, refinement of a comprehensive work on different methodologies on Rolling Contact Mechanics. The foreseen participants constitute a diverse, but consistent, group of researchers, industry specialists, advanced students dealing with the methodological aspects of rolling contact mechanics and computational multibody dynamics.

Topics included in the Colloquium are:

▪ Elastic rolling contact

▪ Plastic rolling contact

▪ Multibody dynamics with rolling elements

▪ Rail-wheel contact

▪ Tyre-road contact

▪ Finite element analysis of rolling elements

▪ Tribology of rolling elements

▪ Biomechanics of natural joints

▪ Roller bearing contact dynamics

▪ Wear in rolling elements

Abstracts should be submitted online and should not exceed 350 words (text only).

The deadline for abstract submission is December 01, 2016.

A Thematic Issue on the Rolling Contact Mechanics for Multibody Systems of the scientific journal Multibody System Dynamics will be organized with peer-reviewed papers based on selected works presented in the Colloquium.
