IUTAM Symposium on New Applications of Nonlinear and Chaotic Dynamics in Mechanics

It is two decades since Mitchell Feigenbaum''s landmark papers on period doubling and the modern beginnings of what is now called "Chaos Theory". From the very beginning, mechanics has been a central focus for modem nonlinear dynamical systems. Fluid, structural, machine and rigid body dynamics has been a fertile field for nonlinear phenomena and chaos in particular. Early experimental evidence fo...
