WELCOME MESSAGE
Following the success of the First, Second and Third International Conferences on Structural
Stability and Dynamics held in 2000 (Taipei), 2002 (Singapore), 2005 (Orlando, USA), this fourth
Conference continues to provide an international forum for presentation of recent advances on
various aspects of theories, analyses, experiments and designs related to structural stability and
dynamics. In particular, it will reflect the state-of-the-art of the computational methods, software
development, networking technologies, new and advanced structural materials and engineering
applications characterized by stability and dynamics features.
We are so pleased to see that the conference has attracted so many participants from so many
institutions and from 15 countries. There are about 100 papers that will be presented in the
conference. The papers cover a broad range of topics that include structural dynamics,
structural stability, computational and experimental methods, inverse problems, smart
materials and structures, earthquake engineering, and nano & bio mechanics. Selected papers
from those presented at the conference will be invited to be peer-reviewed for publication in
International Journal of Structural Stability & Dynamics, Mechanics of Advanced Materials and
Structures, and International Journal of Computational Methods in Engineering Science and Mechanics.
We sincerely hope that you will find the conference fruitful and as enjoyable as it promises to be,
and that you will take back with you valuable insights on the topics covered at this conference as
well as fond memories of these three days in the company of fellow researchers and engineers.
We are very delighted to see you here and we thank you all for your support and participation.
