VBE2023 | 1st International Conference on Vehicle Body Engineering

The First International Conference on Vehicle Body Engineering will take place at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) on the 2nd and 3rd of November 2023.

This conference will be chaired by Professor Lucas F. M. da Silva (FEUP-LAETA, Portugal) and Eduardo A. S. Marques (FEUP-LAETA, Portugal).

The focus of this conference is the study on the design of the structural components of the vehicle body and by including other transportation sectors (aerospace and railway). Novel research works carried out in various topics within these wider themes will be accepted.

Among the topics covered are:

-road vehicle structural design;

-aeronautical structural design;

-rolling stock structural design;

-material testing;

-structural testing;

-manufacture of complex structures;

-structural joining methods;

-structural monitoring;

-self-healing structures;

-numerical simulation of structures;

-numerical simulation of structural components;

-multibody simulation;

-impact performance of structures;

-dynamic behaviour of structures;

-durability of structures;

-fatigue design of complex structures;

-structural ligthtweighing techniques.
