MADRAS – 15TH NATIONAL MECHANISMS CONFERENCE 2011 – INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

NaCoMM 2011 is the 15th in the series of biennial conferences organised under the aegis of AMM. The conference aims at bringing together researchers, industry experts and students interested in various aspects of design and analysis of machines and mechanisms. This year the conference starts with a one-day workshop, focussing on the kinematics of mechanisms and robot manipulators. The conference proper would consist of regular paper and poster presentations, and special talks by experts. Selected papers from the conference would be published in the IFToMM’s scientific journal, Mechanism and Machine Theory. Also included in the conference is the Students’ Mechanism Design contest, an event that became part of NaCoMM in 2009.

Call for Papers : Authors are invited to submit a two-page extended abstract following the Abstract Submission link in the conference website between February 15 and May 01, 2011. The official language of the workshop is English.

Conference Topics : The topics for NaCoMM 2011 include but are not limited to:

Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms
Compliant Mechanisms
Design and Analysis of Biomedical Devices
Dynamics and Control of Multi-body Systems
Dynamics and Vibration Analysis in Machines
History of Machines and Mechanisms
