Advances in Nonlinear Dynamics, Volume I

This volume aims to present the latest advancements in experimental, analytical, and numerical methodologies aimed at exploring the nonlinear dynamics of diverse systems across varying length and time scales. It delves into the following topics: Methodologies for nonlinear dynamic analysis (harmonic balance, asymptotic techniques, enhanced time integration)Data-driven dynamics, machine learning techniquesExploration of bifurcations and nonsmooth systemsNonlinear phenomena in mechanical systems and structuresExperimental dynamics, system identification, and monitoring techniquesFluid-structure interactionDynamics of multibody systemsTurning processes, rotating systems, and systems with time delays
