This survey paper contains a review of the past and recent developments in system
identification of nonlinear dynamical structures. The objective is to present some of the …

A liquid free surface in partially filled containers can experience a wide spectrum of motions
such as planar, non-planar, rotational, quasi-periodic, chaotic, and disintegration. Civil …

The systems considered in this work are composed of weakly coupled, linear and essentially
nonlinear (nonlinearizable) components. In Part I of this work we present numerical …

We study the dynamics of a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear system consisting of a
grounded linear oscillator coupled to a light mass by means of an essentially nonlinear …

This review paper discusses recent efforts to passively move unwanted energy from a
primary structure to a local essentially non-linear attachment (termed a non-linear energy …

We study complex damped and undamped dynamics and targeted energy transfers (TETs)
in systems of coupled oscillators, consisting of single-degree-of-freedom primary linear …

In this book a detailed and systematic treatment of asymptotic methods in the theory of plates
and shells is presented. The main features of the book are the basic principles of …

We study a class of strongly nonlinear traveling waves and localized modes in one-
dimensional homogeneous granular chains with no precompression. Until now the only …

Nonlinear Dynamics represents a wide interdisciplinary area of research dealing with a
variety of “unusual” physical phenomena by means of nonlinear differential equations …

The exact periodic orbits of a conservative 2-degree-of-freedom vibro-impact system with
stereo-mechanical impact model is studied using a piecewise continuation method. Feasible …
