SYMPOSIUM ON

NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND CONTROL

Technical Committee on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics and Control

To be held at

The Seventh ASME International Conference on

Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics and Control

within The 2009 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences

San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA, Aug 30 – Sept 2, 2009

Papers are welcome for research involving investigations of nonlinear phenomena in structural

dynamics and control, including characterizations of experimentally observed nonlinear structural

dynamical behaviours and their control.

In particular, the contributions may fall within all areas related to theoretical, experimental, symbolic,

and computational aspects of nonlinear dynamics, vibrations, and control of structural systems.

Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:

− Recent trends in geometrically exact modelling of distributed-parameter systems and related

    phenomena, more specifically, of beams, arches, cables, plates and shells and their assemblages

− Effects of nonlinear material constitutive laws on dynamics and bifurcations

− Instabilities (parametric, high-codimension multi-mode, mixed resonances,…)

− Bifurcations under various types of dynamic loadings

− Approximate analytical techniques for steady-state and non-stationary responses

− Control of nonlinear and chaotic oscillations, including resonance-cancellation techniques

− Experimental studies of nonlinear coupling and its application to control.
