ICDVC-2014, the 4th International Conference on Dynamics, Vibration and Control, will be held on August 23-25, 2014 in Shanghai, China. Like its three predecessors in Beijing (1990), Beijing (2006), and Hangzhou (2010), the conference is sponsored by the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM) and co-sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) as well as some universities in China. The conference is organized by Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (SIAMM), Shanghai University. Dynamics, vibration and control compose of an active subdiscipline of mechanics, and ICDVC-2014 is devoted to the significant research field. The aim of ICDVC-2014 is to bring together the international leading scientists of dynamics, vibration and control communities, both theoreticians and experimentalists, and to present their original research work of very high quality. The themes of the conference are intended to be broad enough so as to cover most of the directions in dynamics, vibration and control, promoting wide interactions among different academic disciplines. Mathematical theory, numerical simulation, physical experiments, engineering design, information technique, biological and financial studies, and other various applications are included in the main program of the conference. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity to researchers from different fields of science and engineering, both experts and new comers, for sharing ideas, experience and progress, and exploring new directions and problems among specialists in these fascinating subjects. Both oral and poster presentations will be included in the conference program. Internationally leading experts will deliver keynote lectures at the ICDVC-2014. It is expected that 400 participators from various countries will attend the conference.
