Logo of the Conference


The 5th Conference was organised by employees of the Department Automatics and Biomechanics and the Chair of Mechanics of the Technical University of Lodz, in cooperation with the Dynamics Section (Mechanics Committee, Polish Academy of Sciences), Machine Dynamics Group (Section of Design Principles, Machine Building Committee, Polish Academy of Sciences), Polish Committee TMM (Machine Building Committee, Polish Academy of Sciences) and Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.

The organisation of the conference was possible owing to the financial support granted by:

  • Rector of the Technical University of Lodz
  • State Committee for Scientific Research
  • Education Department of Lodz City Council
  • Józef Mianowski Fund

The conference was held in the Training and Conference Centre of University of Łódź at Rogowska St. 63 people, including 13 from abroad (i.e. Belarus, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Ukraine) participated in the conference. Besides, the group of employees from Technical University of Lodz and students from Mechanics Study also took part.
Unfortunately, not all the participants were present at the yard while the group photography was taken.

During meeting the Scientific Committee of Conference (on the 6th December). it was decided the conference would be organised periodicly (every two years) in the same form. Two languages (English and Polish) will be obligatory in the conference, but articles (printed and presented during session) should be prepared in English. It was proposed to include information about reviews in the articles and to discuss presented problems among audience. Moreover, it was discussed to print a new magazine about problems taked over in the conference
The majority of participants found the success of new magazine very difficult and it was proposed to use the other well-known ones .
