INFORMATIVO ABCM Nº 033/07 – Seventh European Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN 2008

The European Association for Structural Dynamics (EASD), is pleased to announce that the Seventh European Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN 2008 will be held at Southampton University, United Kingdom between 7-9 July 2008. The six previous conferences in the series were held in Bochum (1990), Trondheim (1993), Florence (1996), Prague (1999), Munich (2002) and Paris (2005).

This conference is devoted to theoretical, numerical and experimental developments in structural dynamics and their application to all types of structures and dynamical systems. The conference will reflect the state-of-the-art of structural dynamics and dynamical systems in science and engineering practice and is an opportunity to exchange scientific, technical and experimental ideas.

Objectives of the Conference

The Conference aims to bring together researchers and practicing engineers from different branches of engineering to discuss recent advances in theoretical and experimental techniques for solving problems in structural dynamics and dynamical systems.
