Multibody Dynamics

The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics is an event which takes place every two years and which attracts the best researchers in multibody dynamics in the world. A publication collecting the most important and influential papers provides a unique opportunity to present to a broad audience the state of the art in this field. Springer has published a similar collection for the two previous editions of this series of conferences, namely the one of 2003 in Lisbon and the one of 2005 in Madrid. A similar book for the 2007 conference in Milan creates a book series which accompanies the conference series, something which is not presently available in the multibody dynamics community. In fact, although also the ASME organizes a multibody conference in the USA which is well attended, there is not a similar book series accompanying that conference.
