Nonlinear Dynamics, Volume 1: Proceedings of the 34th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics 2016 (Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series)

Nonlinear Dynamics, Volume 1. Proceedings of the 34th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Dynamics of Multiphysical Systems: From Active Materials to Vibroacoustics, 2016, the fi rst volume of ten from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. Th e collection presents early fi ndings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on:

• Nonlinear Oscillations

• Nonlinear Modal Analysis

• Nonlinear System Identifi cation

• Nonlinear Modeling & Simulation

• Nonlinearity in Practice

• Nonlinearity in Multi-Physics Systems

• Nonlinear Modes and Modal Interactions
