Mini-Symposium on Nonlinear Vibrations and Applications

This mini-symposium provides a forum for presenting and discussing applications of nonlinear vibrations and nonlinear analysis for specific real-life purposes. Papers are solicited that deal with purposely utilizing or avoiding nonlinear vibrations / oscillations, primarily within mechanical engineering, but also in electrical / chemical / civil engineering, medicine, physics, biology, economics, social sciences, optics, climate and geophysics, and other sciences. Theoretical, experimental, and numerical works are welcomed. The prime criterion for acceptance of a paper is whether it demonstrates a relevant, interesting, promising, or inspiring application of nonlinear vibrations or nonlinear analysis for achieving benefits in real life.

Full text draft papers (4–6 two-column pages) should be submitted by November 15, 2007 to the Organizing Committee. All contri­butions will be subject to reviewing. No more than two papers for each presenting author will be accepted.

The title should be followed by the authors' names, affiliations, addresses (including FAX and E-mail address) and abstracts (60–100 words). Electronic submission in PDF or PS format is preferable. The site for electronic submission will be launched in September, 2007. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings, which will appear on CD-ROM and will be available for conference participants on the website after the meeting.
