Preface

The AIMETA congress is the meeting place for a scientific community that tra-verses several cultural groups sharing a common interest in the applications ofmechanics in all the aspects of the technology of the present day, as well as in theresearch that prepares the technology of the future. For the first time in itsmulti-decennial history, the congress venue has been Rome, in the historical seatof the faculty of civil and industrial engineering of the most ancient universityof the city. Its sixteenth-century cloister and its rooms of study and research madethe scenery for the event that every two years sees researchers, Ph.D. students,experts of various branches of mechanics meet to exchange ideas and informationon their most recent work.

In this edition, as well as in the previous ones, the contributions submitted to thescientific committee were more than three hundred: this is apparent evidence ofcultural vivacity, especially if one considers that many of them were presented inmini-symposia devoted to frontier research.

The organizing committee was a synthesis of the multicultural expertise of twolarge departments of the Roman university and aimed at providing innovation in thewake of the great tradition of Italian mechanics, which founds in the Roman schoolheirs that keep on pushing a message of culture and knowledge towards newfrontiers.

We wish to thank those many colleagues, young and less young, that took part inthe organization of the congress; the scientific committee that faced the heavy taskof examining the submitted abstracts and papers; and all those who contributed tothe logistics and success of the event.
