  • Adhesive Joints
  • Automation and Control
  • Biomechanics
  • Computational Mechanics
  • Dynamic Analysis
  • Energy Systems
  • Experimental Mechanics
  • Friction and Tribology
  • Industrial Design
  • Materials and Manufacturing Processes

Submissions

||| DEADLINE EXTENSION 30th April ||

Accepts abstracts/papers for oral communication/poster

Please check the ‘Instructions for authors’ page

All abstracts must be submitted in English. Material presented in the Symposium and included in the book of abstracts should be novel and must respect copyrights.
