Topics in Nonlinear Mechanics and Physics: Selected Papers from CSNDD 2018 (Springer Proceedings in Physics, 228)

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.  

Prof. Belhaq joined the University Hassan II-Casablanca in 1982 after receiving his doctorate from the University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France. He was a Visiting Professor and lecturer several times at the Free University of Berlin, University of Sevilla, University of L’Aquila, Ecole Centrale Lyon, INSA Lyon, Complutense University of Madrid, University of Cottbus, Military University of Warsaw, University of Munich, Cornell University, Virginia Tech University, Purdue University, the Indiana State University, University of Novi Sad, University of Jordan and CNRS Marseille.

Prof. Belhaq is a member of the International Research Center for Mathematics & Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MoCS) and is the author and co-author of more than 120 scientific indexed papers published in leading journals in mechanics, nonlinear dynamics and applied mathematics. He has contributed to numerous international conferences and workshops.
