Nonlinear Mechanics of Complex Structures: From Theory to Engineering Applications: 157 (Advanced Structured Materials, 157)

This book covers different topics of nonlinear mechanics in complex structures, such as the appearance of new nonlinear phenomena and the behavior of finite-dimensional and distributed nonlinear systems, including numerous systems directly connected with important technological problems.

Prof. Yuri V. Mikhlin completed Doctor of Science in Physics and Mathematics from Moscow Institute for Problems in Mechanics (Russian Academy of Science), 1988, and Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics from Dnepropetrovsk State University, 1974. Currently, he is Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics, National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute,” Ukraine. He has about 50 years of experience in nonlinear dynamics and applied mathematics. His priority scientific results on nonlinear normal modes, stability of motion, dynamics of elastic structures, problems of vibro-absorption, rotor dynamics, chaotic behavior of nonlinear systems, etc., are published in leading international journals. He is Member in the Editorial Board of the journals such as Nonlinear Dynamics, International Journal of Nonlinear Mechanics and Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science.
