All scientific contributions will be grouped into parallel sessions, according the traditional area of:
  • General Mechanics
  • Mechanics of Fluids
  • Mechanics of Machines
  • Mechanics of Solids
  • Mechanics of Structures

The following Special Sessions will be organized:
  • "The analytical approach to inviscid two dimensional vortex dynamics. Is it only an ancient issue?"
    G. Riccardi (Napoli II)
  • "Mechanics of material sand systems at micro- and nano-scales"
    C. Comi (Milano Leonardo) - L. Deseri (Trento)
  • "Variational models of fracture"
    M. Angelillo (Salerno)
  • "Experimental methods in structural dynamics"
    A. Morassi (Udine) - F. Benedettini (L'Aquila)
  • "Innovation and research as support to industrial competitivity"
    M. Callegari (Ancona) - P. Seremellini (SOMIpress)
  • "Flow control"
    R. Donelli (CIRA) - P. Luchini (Salerno)
  • "Biomechanics and biomaterials"
    L. Deseri (Trento)

The Book of Abstracts will be printed and made available to registered participants at the opening of the meeting. Full-length papers will be published, upon acceptance and according to the current law, on a CD-ROM and made available to registered participants at the opening of the meeting.

The submission of the abstract and, in case of acceptance, of the corresponding full-length paper, implies the author's acceptance of the usual copyright rules about scientific publications; the copyright will be transferred to the AIMETA 2009 meeting. Also, submission of the material above implies that the same material has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, in the same form or with essentially similar contents.

Revised versions of the papers published on the Conference Proceedings can be submitted for publication to the journal "Meccanica" or to other journals, upon citation of the AIMETA 2009 Proceedings.
