Linear and nonlinear dynamics of mechanical systems, solids and structures

The Symposium is focused on Linear and Nonlinear Dynamics of Mechanical Systems, Solids and Structures across different scales. Contributions on advanced physical-mathematical modelling of innovative structures and smart materials, and their multidisciplinary applications in the different branches of engineering are welcome. The minisymposium aims at gathering scientists from different backgrounds working on the dynamics of continuum and discrete models across the following topics:

• Deterministic dynamic models of elastic, viscoelastic and inertially amplified systems

• Analytical, computational and experimental approaches in time and frequency domains

• Free and forced elastoacoustic bulk and guided wave propagation

• Dynamics of microstructured, periodic, architected, composite, porous and complex media

• Vibration-based identification of material properties and model parameters

• Metadamping, passive and semi-active control of noise and vibration

• Stability and bifurcation of dynamic equilibria across material and structural scales

• Modal interactions, harmonic and superharmonic resonances in nonlinear systems

• Physics based and data-driven characterization of dynamic phenomena
