CONFERENCE CM2003 AT CHALMERSThe 6th International Conference on Contact Mechanicsand Wear of Rail/Wheel Systems (cm2003) was arrangedby charmec at Chalmers on Tuesday 10 – Friday 13 June2003 under the chairmanship of Roger Lundén and BjörnPaulsson. A total of 207 delegates from 25 countries participated,with Sweden (78), Germany (20), uk (17) andJapan (10) forming the largest contingents. The delegatescame from academia (65), manufacturing industries (53),railway administrations and operations (32), institutes(27), consultancies (19) and other (11). The conferenceprogramme included 4 invited keynote lectures and 14other plenary presentations. The remaining 63 workswere presented in three parallel sessions. The total of81 contributions accepted came from 16 countries withSweden (14), uk (14), Japan (9) and Russia (7) dominating.The conference was planned by a national organizingcommittee chaired by Roger Lundén and Björn Paulssonwith 15 representatives from Swedish universities andrailway enterprises.Opening and welcome speeches were delivered byBjörn Paulsson and by Jan-Eric Sundgren, President ofChalmers, and Drewin Nieuwenhuis, General Managerof unife. Among the prominent lecturers invited tocm2003 was Professor Emeritus K L Johnson fromCambridge University Engineering Department, uk.He is one of the pioneers in contact mechanics and tribology,and he is also a well-known textbook author.In parallel with the conference an exhibition was heldDr Joe Kalousek of NRC,Canada, during boat tripto Marstrandin which 15 companies and other organizations presentedthemselves. Printed conference proceedings were distributedto the delegates when they arrived and a specialpaper in Railway Gazette International had been compiledand published, see below. About half of the conferencepapers are being further reviewed for publicationin a special issue of the scientific journal Wear.The conference fee was set at sek 7000 with a reductionto sek 3500 for students (sek 100 is about euro 11).In addition, on 21 September 2000, the charmec Boardhad decided to contribute ksek 200 to the conference.Taking also into account the contribution ksek 229 fromSponsors and the fees ksek 139 from Exhibitors, anddisregarding the work input from the local organizers atChalmers, the conference resulted in a positive economicAt registration desk of CM2003, from left: Surahammar wheel for new locomotive on the Iron Ore Line,Anne-Marie Holmdahl, Björn Hellström, Carina Schmidt, Murray Hughes and Roger Lundén.
