Preface

Multibody Dynamics is an exciting area of applied and computational mechanics, whose substantial progress during the last five5 decades has stemmed from the rapid and simultaneous development of many technological disciplines like robotics, spacecraft and machine design, and was stimulated by the advances in computational techniques. In order to deliver methods and tools for the modeling, analysis and simulation of complex mechanical systems, various topics were merged in the field, including contact and impact, control and mechatronics, real-time simulation, optimization, flexibility, time integration schemes and software development. The current area of interest include robotics and walking machines, road and railway vehicle dynamics, aerospace, biomechanics, and many other multidisciplinary applications. The ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics was initiated in Lisbon in 2003, and then continued in Madrid (2005) and Milan (2007), aimed at providing a venue for exchanging ideas and recent developments related to the theory and applications of multibody systems. The fourth edition of the Conference was held at the Warsaw University of Techn
