The aim of the conference is to bring together academic and industrial experts from the fields of non-linear and structural dynamics, continuum mechanics, materials science, physics, applied mathematics, and mechanical, aerospace, civil and systems engineering to facilitate the mutual understanding of theory and applications of vibro-impact systems. The areas covered by this Conference include: excitation, synchronisation and stabilisation of vibro-impact processes; dynamics of vibro-impact machines and technological processes; vibration protection of operators and structures in harsh environment; synergistic effects of repeated impacts on solids and granular media; non-linear fluid-solid interactions; analytical, experimental and numerical methods for the analysis of vibro-impact systems and processes; synthesis and optimisation of vibro-impact systems; measurements and applications of vibro-impact processes.

Publications

The papers presented at this conference will be published in a Special Issue of the Journal of Sound and Vibration. The respective information on this publication will be sent to participants of the Conference with the 2nd Circular.
