NONLINEAR AND CHAOTIC BEHAVIOR OF MACRO ELASTIC STRUCTURES, INCLUDIND MEMS AND NEMS
The aim of this symposium is to gather specialists of different areas working on the dynamics of problems related to elastic structures such as plates, shells, beams, cables and so on.
On the actual demand of the modern technology, in the modeling of such structures, is unavoidable to take into account nonlinearities of the basic equations. New phenomena in Dynamics as well as new approaches to older ones are expected to be discovered in the theoretical, numeric and experimental investigations of those structures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, local and/or global bifurcations, dynamic instability, chaos, control of chaos, singular perturbations and asymptotic methods and reduced order modeling.
By another hand , In recent years a large amount of research has been dedicated to new materials and their use in new structural components. Among new materials, functionally graded materials and other composites, shape memory alloys, magneto rheological materials, dielectric elastomers, polymers and thin-films have shown great potential for applications in all engineering fields. So, research has been conducted in applications of these materials from micro and nano structures to large space structures. These structures are usually rather slender leading to an eminently non-linear behavior, including new types of nonlinearities and forces.
Papers are solicited in all areas related to theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of the problem.
