FPMC: Bath/ASME symposium on fluid power and motion control

Our leading symposium covers current and future trends in fluid power and motion control for academia and industry.

A message from the organisers

We want to inform you about the developing COVID-19 situation.

It is unclear how long the disruption due to COVID-19 will last and how severe it will be. We are currently planning for the symposium to go ahead as planned, but are aware that changes may be needed and are preparing contingency plans. If there are any changes to the Symposium plans, we will let you know as soon as possible.

Please see below for our revised schedule. If, due to work disruption, you need more time to prepare your paper, please get in touch with the Symposium organisers to discuss as soon as possible.

Your contribution is valuable to us, but the safety and wellbeing of all involved is our top priority.

With thanks and best wishes

Nigel Johnston

Organiser, FPMC 2020

Date: September 9 - 11, 2020
University of Bath, England

The Fluid Power Systems & Technology Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the University of Bath's Centre for Power Transmission and Motion Control (PTMC) invite you to our international symposium on fluid power and motion control.

Our annual symposium is a great opportunity to bring together practitioners and researchers in the fluid power transmission and motion control community. It includes technical presentations and a keynote speech given by the 2019 winner of the prestigious Robert E Koski medal. You can read about past awards and download past proceedings.
