8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTIBODY SYSTEMS, NONLINEAR DYNAMICS,<br />
AND CONTROL (MSNDC)<br />

WELCOME MESSAGES<br />
On behalf of the members of the ASME Technical Committee on Multibody Systems <strong>and</strong> Nonlinear Dynamics (MSND), we would<br />
like to welcome the attendees of the 8th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, <strong>and</strong> Control<br />
(MSNDC). The conference this year has a total of 141 accepted papers <strong>and</strong> presentations that cover traditional <strong>and</strong> new emerging<br />
topics across the multibody systems <strong>and</strong> nonlinear dynamics fields of inquiry. A total of 11 different technical symposia have been<br />
organized on topics ranging <strong>from</strong> computation, modeling, analysis, control, <strong>and</strong> optimization to applications in device <strong>and</strong> system<br />
design, vehicle dynamics, biological systems, <strong>and</strong> industrial tools.<br />
New for this year is a panel session that seeks to reflect on the personal perspectives of representatives <strong>from</strong> the industry <strong>and</strong><br />
federal research communities on opportunities in the area of multibody systems <strong>and</strong> nonlinear dynamics. Following past tradition,<br />
we will also feature a student paper competition session in which the finalists get to present their work to the award selection<br />
committee. In addition, <strong>and</strong> also new for this year, are two rapid-fire oral presentation sessions, in which a select group of papers<br />
will be competing for the best poster award. We look forward to seeing you at these events <strong>and</strong> hope you will also visit the posters<br />
displayed at the conference venue to learn more about the work of these authors.<br />
The ASME Technical Committee on Multibody Systems <strong>and</strong> Nonlinear Dynamics selected Professor Earl Dowell of Duke University<br />
as the recipient of the 2011 Lyapunov Award <strong>and</strong> Professor Javier García de Jalón de la Fuente of the Universidad Politécnica de<br />
Madrid, Spain as the recipient of the 2011 d’Alembert Award. These two awards, which will be presented at the MSNDC lunch on<br />
Tuesday, August 30, 2011, are meant to recognize significant lifetime contributions made by the awardees to the fields of multibody<br />
systems <strong>and</strong> nonlinear dynamics, respectively. In addition, at this lunch, we will be honoring Professor Eusebius (Sebius) Doedel<br />
of Concordia University, Montréal, Québec, Canada to recognize his significant contributions to computational dynamics.<br />
The conference will have two keynote lectures, the d‘Alembert <strong>and</strong> the Lyapunov lectures. The Lyapunov lecture will be given by<br />
Professor Dowell in the second technical session slot on Tuesday, August 30, 2011. The d‘Alembert lecture will be given by Professor<br />
de Jalón in the second technical session slot on Wednesday August 31, 2011,<br />
We would like to thank the authors for submitting their work to the conference, the reviewers for their time <strong>and</strong> efforts in evaluating<br />
the papers, <strong>and</strong> the distinguished keynote speakers for accepting our invitation. We would also like to express our appreciation to<br />
the symposium organizers (listed below) for their tremendous organizational efforts <strong>and</strong> cooperation.<br />

Sugiyama, Aless<strong>and</strong>ro Tasora, Jeff Trinkle, Yoshiaki Terumichi, David Wagg, Lawrence Virgin, Hiroshi Yabuno, Khaled Zaazaa.<br />
Thanks are also due to the members of the ASME Technical Committee on Multibody Systems <strong>and</strong> Nonlinear Dynamics who<br />
selected the d‘Alembert <strong>and</strong> Lyapunov award recipients.<br />
This conference represents a unique opportunity for researchers, educators <strong>and</strong> students to present their new research results,<br />
exchange ideas, <strong>and</strong> become familiar with new trends <strong>and</strong> directions in the fields of multibody systems <strong>and</strong> nonlinear dynamics.<br />
We look forward to having a successful conference <strong>and</strong> we hope that all the attendees will enjoy their stay in Washington DC.<br />
