Tribomechadynamics 2025

I'm pleased to announce that Tribomechadynamics 2025 will be hosted at the University of Stuttgart from August 25-27. This conference is held every other year in conjunction with our Tribomechadynamics Research Camp. As usual, there will be four tracks: nonlinear/structural dynamics, contact mechanics, tribology, and the integration of these three topics into Tribomechadynamics.

I'm also pleased to announce our three keynote speakers:

Alice Cicirello, University of Cambridge

David Nowell, Imperial College London

Pascal Reuß, Mercedes-Benz AG

We will be posting more information soon, but please feel free to visit our website in the meantime:

Key dates for the conference are:

  1. Abstracts due May 1st, 2025
  2. Acceptance notification by May 15th, 2025
  3. Full Papers due August 1st, 2025 (student paper competition submissions)
  4. Extended Abstracts due August 15th, 2025 (non-student paper competition submissions)
  5. Registration deadline (for the advanced registration rate) is August 18th, 2025
  6. Conference dates are August 25th through 27th, 2025.

Lastly, for those of you traveling from overseas, the conference has been timed such that you can also attend the International Conference on Experimental Continuation in Nonlinear Dynamics (XCON), hosted by Ghislain Raze and Gaetan Kerschen in Liege, Belgium from August 28-29. Their website is http://www.s3l.be/en/xcon.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions,

Matthew Brake, Christoph Schwingshackl, and Malte Krack
