The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists from around the world to promote exchange and discussions around the latest research developments in the area of nonlinear vibrations. It is the seventh conference of the series and follows on from six successful conferences held in Fréjus, 2004; Samos, 2006; Roma, 2009; Haifa, 2012; Istanbul, 2014; Liège, 2016.

Presentations will cover the following topics: nonlinear normal modes, targeted energy transfer and localization, modal identification, analysis and reduction. A special session will be devoted to nonlinear aspects in musical acoustics.

The conference will be organized at the Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics in Marseille, France.
The laboratory is next to the Centrale Marseille engineering school and one of the multiple sites of Aix-Marseille University.

Visits of its experimental facilities such as the 3 anechoic chambers will be organized.

On Wednesday afternoon a boat trip will give you the opportunity to visit the beautiful Calanques from Marseille to Cassis before the gala dinner.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Seventh Conference on Nonlinear Vibrations, Localization and Energy Transfer!
