International Symposium

on Multibody Systems and Mechatronics

MuSMe 2011

October 25 - 28, 2011: Valencia, Spain

 

The aim of the Symposium is to bring together researchers from a broad range of disciplines referring

to Multibody Systems and Mechatronics, in an intimate, collegial and stimulating environment.

Musme 2011 Symposium is one of the activities of the FeIbIM Commission for Mechatronics

and  IFToMM Technical Committee for Multibody Dynamics and Robotics & Mechatronics.

The Symposium will be held at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería del Diseño of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.

 

TOPICS

Because of the inherently multidisciplinary nature of Multibody Systems and Mechatronics, the scope of the topics in the congress is necessarily broad, but within the science of motion. Papers include subjects on Multibody kinematics and dynamics and Mechatronics and are not limited to the following topics:

·  Analysis and synthesis of mechanisms

·  Dynamics of multibody systems

·  Design algorithms for mechatronic systems

·  Simulation procedures and results

·  Prototypes and their performance

·  Robots and micromachines

·  Experimental validations

·  Theory of mechatronic simulation

·  Mechatronic systems

·  Control of mechatronic systems

A limited number of papers by students will be accepted for presentation. Best papers awards will be given in the area of research, applications and student papers.
