The International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (MSNDC) provides the premiere professional networking opportunity for researchers in the multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics technical community. The conference (i) facilitates the dissemination of novel research contributions; and (ii) highlights the application of research in applications that span a broad range of fields and scales: from robotics to biomechanics to vehicle dynamics, and from nano-scale to large complex systems. The MSNDC Conference is a forum for: Recognizing recent research in multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics that is original and of broad appeal Recognizing nascent efforts to bring the methods of multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics to novel areas of application Raising the visibility of research and educational efforts in multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics Sustaining the vitality of the multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics professional community.
