Colloquium Dynamics of Machines 2013

The aim of the Colloquium is to facilitate the exchange of up-to-date information and knowledge among specialists in dynamics of machines and mechanical systems. The Colloqium is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Ctirad Kratochvil, an outstanding researcher, teacher, friend and long-term supporter of Dynamics of Machines, who died unexpectedly last year. The main attention will be focused on:

• continuum dynamics, impact and non-linear phenomena
• crack propagation, constitutive models
• dynamics of linear and non-linear systems, identification, chaos
• vibrations, interaction of mechanical systems and fluids
• modern computational mechanics and experiments
