ISDAC 2023

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Third International Symposium on Dynamics and Aerodynamics of Cables (ISDAC 2023) will be hosted by the DISG – Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering of Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), from 15 to 17 June 2023. The candidature was accepted during the recent ISDAC 2021 Symposium held at the University of Stavanger (Norway) in September 2021.

The ISDAC 2023 Symposium will be organized with the contribution of DICA – Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and DICCA – Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of University of Genoa (Italy).

In continuity with the background of the past ISDAC Symposia, contributions concerning traditional and emerging areas on Dynamics and Aerodynamics of Cables will be accepted, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• nonlinear cable dynamics

• cable structures and moving cables

• cable aging, fatigue, degradation, and failure mechanisms

• laboratory testing of cable dynamics and aerodynamics

• field investigations of cable dynamics and aerodynamics

• computational models for cable dynamics and fluid-structure interaction

• cable vibration control

• cable-driven parallel manipulators and cable cranes

• monitoring of cable performance

• environmental and anthropic loads on cable structures

• new materials for structural cables

• design performance criteria
