MSNDC Conference Best Paper Competition Awards
MSNDC Best Paper Award (Multibody Dynamics)
MSNDC Best Paper Award (Nonlinear Dynamics)
The MSNDC Best Paper Award acknowledges exceptional papers selected from the MSNDC proceedings. These two awards, which focus on Multibody and Nonlinear Dynamics, are granted by an impartial scientific advisory board comprised of experienced researchers.
MSNDC Conference Best Student Paper Competition Award
The MSNDC Best Student Paper Award recognizes a student who has authored and presented a paper included in the MSNDC proceedings that demonstrates originality, relevance, and importance; is high quality, organized, and clear; and offers a high degree of technical content.
Associated Journal
ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics
https://www.asmejcnd.org/
The Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics (JCND) provides a medium for rapid dissemination of original research results in theoretical as well as applied computational and nonlinear dynamics. The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of new ideas and applications in computational, rigid, and flexible multi-body system dynamics and all aspects (analytical, numerical, and experimental) of dynamics associated with nonlinear systems. The broad scope of the journal encompasses all computational and nonlinear problems occurring in aeronautical, biological, electrical, mechanical, physical, and structural systems.
Events
International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (MSNDC) as part of ASME IDETC-CIE
