MOSS 2017

Due to several requests to expand the deadline for submission of abstracts for the 7th Symposium on the Mechanics of Slender Structures (MoSS2017), the Organizing Committee have decided to extend the deadline to the 17th of July.

The conference dates are 14 – 15 December 2017 and the event will be held at Palacio de Congresos de Mérida, Mérida, Extremadura, Spain.

This conference forms a continuation of a successful meeting series on the mechanics of systems employing slender structural elements. The first meeting was held in Northampton, U.K., in 2006 (website http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~conf2006/Symposium.htm ), followed by the event hosted in Baltimore, USA., in 2008 (website http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~moss2008/index.html ), in San Sebastian, Spain (website: http://www.mondragon.edu/MoSS2010/) in Harbin, China, in 2013 (http://cndr.hit.edu.cn/MoSS2012), in Northampton, UK, in 2015 (http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~moss2015/index.html) and in Shanghai, China, in 2016.

Abstracts of up to 300 words are invited in electronic format and should be submitted as an MS Word file via e-mail to the Symposium Office.

The key conference dates are as follows:

Deadline for submission of abstracts   17th of July 2017
Authors notified of acceptance of abstracts   30th of July 2017
Submission of extended abstract    29th of September 2017
