Dynamical Systems: Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Topic Issue (TI) has an interdisciplinary character and focuses on the dissemination of ideas between various branches of pure and applied sciences, covering a range of dynamic processes, including applied mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, civil engineering, electrical engineering, physics, automation and control, and bioengineering.

The core interest of this TI relies on mathematical and physical modeling, numerical/analytical study and computation, as well as experimental investigation, of dynamical systems and processes in order to understand their dynamical behavior and maximize control in order to achieve the assumed goals.

From the point of view of the theoretical aspects, the following topics are welcome:

-    Asymptotic approaches;
-    Numerical algorithms and procedures;
-    Smooth versus non-smooth dynamical systems;
-    Resonances and anti-resonances;
-    Bifurcation and chaos;
-    Stability problems;
-    Novel nonlinear phenomena;
-    Nonlinear PDEs and ODEs.

From the point of view of the applications, the following issues are covered:

-    Engineering and bioengineering;
-    Airplane and rocket industries;
-    Transport (water, air, and land);
-    Sensor modeling and fabrications;
-    Mechanics;
-    Vibrations of composite structural members;
-    Vibrations of discrete mass systems;
-    Dynamics of micro-/nano-scale systems;
-    Robotics;
-    Energy harvesting;
-    Robotics and manipulators.

Scientists and engineers are kindly incited to contribute to this Topic Issue.
