The 2025 Tribomechadynamics Conference will be held from August 25-27, 2025, in Stuttgart Germany!
We are excited to announce the three keynote speakers for the 2025 conference:
Alice Cicirello, University of Cambridge
David Nowell, Imperial College London
Pascal Reuß, Mercedes-Benz AG
The Tribomechadynamics Conference is hosted every odd year as the conclusion of the summer of Tribomechadynamics. The Tribomechadynamics Conference is organized into four tracks:
- Tribology
- Contact Mechanics
- Structural/Nonlinear Dynamics
- Multidisciplinary Research
The fourth track, multidisciplinary research, is intended to highlight research projects that span Tribology, Contact Mechanics, and Dynamics (i.e. research that can be categorized as Tribomechadynamics). While the major thrust of the conference comes from the study of interfaces and jointed structures, all researchers in these fields are welcome to and encouraged to submit an abstract and to attend.
Important Dates
The important dates for the conference are, tentatively:
Abstracts due May 1st, 2025
Acceptance notification by May 15th, 2025
Full Papers due August 1st, 2025 (student paper competition submissions)
Extended Abstracts due August 15th, 2025 (non-student paper competition submissions)
Registration deadline (for the advanced registration rate) is August 18th, 2025
Conference dates are August 25th through 27th, 2025.
Abstract/Paper Formatting
There is no required format for the extended abstracts or student competition papers. Please submit these as PDFs.
Conference Venue
The Tribomechadynamics 2025 Conference will be held at the University of Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany.
Proceedings
Extended abstracts will be made available to participants of the conference. In addition, we are working to have the top presentations and winners of the student paper competition published in a special issue of a journal.
Student Paper Competition
All papers with a student as the first author are eligible for the student paper competition. The winning entries (as judged by a panel of reviewers in advance of the conference) will be asked to give the student plenary talk as their presentation during the conference. More information will be made available soon.
Other Information of Interest
For those of you traveling from overseas, the conference has been timed such that you can also attend the International Conference on Experimental Continuation in Nonlinear Dynamics (XCON), hosted by Ghislain Raze and Gaetan Kerschen in Liege, Belgium from August 28-29.
