Project description
New contacts among multiple 'bodies' will foster industrial and economic development
Phenomena involving the contact between two rigid or deformable bodies at least one of which is in motion impact mechanical systems in numerous engineering, technological and industrial applications. The 'non-smooth contact dynamics method' was developed in the 1980s to deal with these phenomena where non-smooth refers to the special case involving jumps in velocity, such as due to changes in friction properties or shocks. The EU-funded CONMECH project will foster important contacts itself by building bridges of common research interests in the field of non-smooth contact dynamics across five continents to support industrial applications and economic development.
