This book contains 32 selected papers by acknowledged experts covering current research in this field of mechanics. The material has been grouped into six sections entitled: Non-linear oscillations of beams, plates, vehicles, and other dynamic systems; Analysis and control of non-linear systems; Non-linear waves; Dynamics of offshore structures; System identification; and Mathematical and numerical methods for investigating non-linear systems. Individual papers reflect the newest achievements and results in non-linear oscillations and cover analytical methods, experimental and/or numerical techniques which may be applied to dynamic problems. This volume will be of interest to scientists and graduate students in theoretical and applied mechanics and mathematics. Booknews Presents 32 papers from a March 1999 symposium, covering current research in this field of mechanics. Papers are in six sections on nonlinear oscillations of beams and other dynamic systems, analysis and control of nonlinear systems, nonlinear waves, dynamics of offshore structures, system identification, and mathematical and numerical methods for investigating nonlinear systems. Subjects include asymptotic methods for investigating nonlinear wave processes, application of two perturbation methods to nonlinear systems, transverse vibrations of beam bridges under action of moving bodies, and oscillations of vehicles in convoy.
