Mini-Symposium Abstract

The Mini-Symposium aims at highlighting/discussing new developments in the nonlinear dynamics of discrete systems as well as of reduced order models of distributed parameter systems. Papers of theoretical, experimental as well as of applied nature are welcome. The character of the Mini-Symposium is broad and includes papers with a meaningful mathematical background, and topics such as dynamic stability of discrete and continuous systems (smooth/non-smooth), deterministic and random systems subjected to additive/multiplicative excitation or exhibiting self-excited vibrations. Solutions employing analytical, semi-analytical, or numerical approaches are expected. Experimental studies as verification of theoretical results or primary research at various scales including micro/nano-mechanics are of particular interest. Especially welcome are papers on recent and ongoing research as well as papers of multi-disciplinary nature. They may include investigations of Hamiltonian/non-Hamiltonian and holonomic/non-holonomic systems (higher level non-holonomic constraints are welcome), nonlinear interactions, auto-parametric systems, post-critical processes, limit cycles and homo/heteroclinic orbits, nonlinear normal modes, stochastic resonance phenomena, harmonic synchronization, quasi-periodic and other inter-resonance processes, interaction of deterministic and random excitation in resonance zone, avalanche snapping through eigen-modes, basins of attractors, maps, chaotic behavior, assistance of AI in complex theoretical research, etc. Papers dealing with applications in physics and engineering and papers including case studies and technical development support, as well as interaction with other areas, are invited for submission. It is expected that both the classical fields of civil and mechanical engineering and the emerging areas of micro, bio-mechanics, inter-stellar space Dynamics, etc. will be addressed.
