IUTAM Symposium on Applications of Nonlinear and Chaotic Dynamics in Mechanics

Abstract

The IUTAM Symposium in Ithaca, New York was the third of a series devoted to new discoveries in nonlinear dynamics an chaos related to mechanics, with Stuttgart 1990, and London, 1993 the prior venues for this meeting. These three symposia were focused on non-fluid phenomena especially solid and structural mechanics and multibody machine systems. However, a fair number of papers were devoted to fluid elastic and aeroelastic nonlinear dynamics. Nonlinear fluid mechanics is usually dominated by the quadratic nonlinear acceleration in the Navier Stokes equation. However, in solid, structural and machine mechanics there exists a greater variety of nonlinearities such as hysteresis, delay, nonsmooth discontinuities such a impact, and higher order nonlinearities in elastic structures as in shells and buckled structures.
