ICDVC-2018, the 5th International Conference on Dynamics, Vibration and Control, will be held on July 28-30, 2018 in Shijiazhuang, China. Like its four predecessor events held in Beijing (1990 and 2006), Hangzhou (2010), and Shanghai (2014), ICDVC-2018 is sponsored by the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM) and co-sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) as well as other universities in China. The conference in 2018 is organized by Shijiazhuang Tiedao University. Dynamics, vibration and control composes of an active sub-discipline of mechanics, and ICDVC-2018 is devoted to the significant research field. The aim of ICDVC-2018 is to bring together the international leading scientists of dynamics, vibration and control communities, both theoreticians and experimentalists, and to present their original research work of very high quality. The themes of the conference are intended to be broad enough so as to cover most of the directions in dynamics, vibration and control, promoting wide interactions among different academic disciplines. Mathematical theory, numerical simulation, physical experiments, engineering design, information technique, biological and financial studies, and other various applications are included in the main program of the conference. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity to researchers from different fields of science and engineering, both experts and new comers, for sharing ideas, experience and progress, and exploring new directions and problems among specialists in these fascinating subjects. Both oral and poster presentations will be included in the conference program. Internationally leading experts will deliver keynote lectures at the ICDVC-2018. It is expected that over 500 participants from various countries will attend the conference.
