X, 309 p. 192 illus., 83 illus. in color. online resource.
This book presents a selection of contributions from the 4th International Conference on Structural Nonlinear Dynamics and Diagnostics, reflecting diverse aspects of nonlinear and complex dynamics. Fifteen chapters discuss the latest findings and applications in active research areas in nonlinear mechanics and physics. These includes the dynamics of ships with liquid sloshing interaction, dynamics of drops and bubbles, nonlinear drying processes, suppression of time-delayed induced vibrations, dynamics of robotic systems, chaos detection in rolling element, dynamics of a planetary gear system with faults, vibro-impact systems, complex fractional moments for nonlinear systems, oscillations under hysteretic conditions, as well as topics in nonlinear energy harvesting and control.
