Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue entitled "Nonlinear Vibration of Mechanical Systems" in Vibration.

Research on the modelling of mechanical systems has been crucial in various engineering fields. Despite extensive studies in this area, emerging applications and new materials present new challenges. This Special Issue aims to unite cutting-edge research and innovative perspectives on the complex dynamics and behaviours exhibited by mechanical systems under nonlinear vibrations. These systems often showcase intricate and nonlinear dynamics, leading to a rich spectrum of vibrational phenomena.

The Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, nonlinear modal interactions, chaos and bifurcation in mechanical systems, the nonlinear dynamics of coupled structures, nonlinearities in control systems, experimental investigations of nonlinear vibrations, and the application of nonlinear dynamics in engineering design.

This platform offers a unique opportunity to share advancements, methodologies, and insights in various fields of nonlinear vibration, thus addressing an extensive spectrum of themes that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Nonlinear Dynamics in Innovative Material Systems:
    • Exploration of nonlinear vibrations in metamaterials and structures.
    • Investigation of the influence of material nonlinearity on mechanical system dynamics.
  2. Data-Driven Approaches:
    • Utilization of machine learning and data-driven techniques for analysing and predicting nonlinear vibrations.
    • Integration of artificial intelligence for system identification and control in nonlinear systems.
  3. Nonlinear Dynamics in Nano and Microscale Systems:
    • Investigation of nonlinear vibration phenomena in nanomechanical and microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS).
    • Exploration of the impact of nonlinearities at the small scale on overall system behaviour.
  4. Nonlinear Control Strategies:
    • Development of advanced control strategies to mitigate and exploit nonlinearities in mechanical systems.
    • Application of chaos control and synchronization techniques.
  5. Experimental Validation and Advanced Measurement Techniques:
    • Advances in experimental techniques for capturing and analysing nonlinear vibrations.
    • Integration of novel sensors and measurement methods to study complex nonlinear behaviours.
  6. Coupled and Complex Systems:
    • Study of the nonlinear dynamics of interconnected and coupled mechanical systems.
    • Investigation of the effects of coupling on synchronization, bifurcations, and chaos.
  7. Energy Harvesting from Nonlinear Vibrations:
    • Development of energy-harvesting systems that capitalize on nonlinear vibrations.
    • Exploration of the efficiency of harvesting energy from chaotic and nonlinear regimes.
  8. Nonlinear Vibrations in Biomechanics:
    • Application of nonlinear dynamics to study the complexities of biological systems.
    • Investigation of the nonlinear vibrations in tissues, bones, and biomimetic structures.

Papers can include conceptual designs, theoretical development, and practical implementations. Both theoretical papers and experimental reports are welcome.

The goal of this article is to provide a review of the experimental techniques and procedures using vibration methods for the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Polymer-Matrix Composites (PMCs). It aims to be a guide for any researchers to carry out vibration experiments. The linear methods are first introduced. But, as PMC is a complex material, these classic methods show some limits, such as low accuracy for small damages and a high environmental dependency. This is why the nonlinear methods are secondly studied, considering that the complexity of PMCs induces a nonlinear behavior of the structure after damage occurrence. The different damage mechanisms are well-explained in order to evaluate the potential of each vibration method to detect them. Full article
