Methods of multibody system dynamics represent a widespread, versatile and reliable approach to the simulation of engineering problems that involve the dynamics of complex mechanisms. Applications of these methods can be found in many fields, for instance in aerospace, automotive, biomechanics, robotics and automation, to name a few.

Partecipants to this workshop will have the opportunity to interact with people from a diverse range of backgrounds: other students, researchers, professionals from industries and faculty staff.

Lecturers are experts in their chosen fields and committed to teaching with academic rigour and contemporary relevance.

This Summer School is part of the curriculum of the PhD Programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering of Politecnico di Milano.

NOTE: because of the COVID pandemic, the entire event will be ONLINE. Registered students will be able to follow the lessons from abroad, using the Teams or similar on-line videoconference systems.        
         
       
Various topics related to multibody dynamics will be covered, including (but not limited to):

• Basic theory
• Dynamics and kinematics
• Numerical methods for time integration
• Flexible multibody and finite elements
• Contacts, collisions and non-smooth problems
• Control, robotics, cosimulation
• Optimization
• Software development

Together with experts in the field, applications to various fields will be discussed:

• aerospace
• automotive
• biomechanics
• trains, railways
• artificial intelligence and deep learning
• virtual reality and videogames
• robotics, etc.

The workshop is mainly intended for PhD students in engineering, but it is also open to industry researchers.
A basic knowledge of mechanics, programming and numerical methods is expected. Previous editions created a stimulating international context with students coming from many countries. Alessandro Tasora, Università di Parma

The workshop provides five days of lessons and tutorials. Half day will be dedicated to a mini-conference, where students can showcase their research with short presentations.
A detailed program will be available.

Lessons will be articulated in open lectures, teamwork and hands-on sessions.
Various experts from Italy and abroad will be invited to give lectures on topics revolving around multibody system dynamics at large.

The Workshop provides for the recognition of 5 ECTS. If a maximum number of registrations is exceeded, participants will be selected on the basis of their academic achievements and their suitability for the program. In case of ex aequo, priority will be offered to foreign students, and according to the order of application.
The pre-registration form must be filled and submitted before June 30th, 2021.

Candidates will be notified of acceptance by July 1st 2021.

By July 30th 2021 selected participants must fill the form for final registration:
