The EUROMECH Colloquium "Dynamics of Vibro-Impact Systems" was held at th th Loughborough University on September 15 _18 , 1998. This was the flrst international meeting on this subject continuing the traditions of the series of Russian meetings held regularly since 1963. Mechanical systems with multiple impact interactions have wide applications in engineering as the most intensive sources of mechanical influence on materials, structures and processes. Vibro-impact systems are used widely in machine dynamics, vibration engineering, and structural mechanics. Analysis of vibro-impact systems involves the investigation of mathematical models with discontinuities and reveals their behaviour as strongly non-linear. Such systems exhibit complex resonances, synchronisation and pulling, bifurcations and chaos, exCitation of space coherent structures, shock waves, and solitons. The aim of the Colloquium was to facilitate the exchange of up-to-date information on the analysis and synthesis of vibro-impact systems as well as on the new developments in excitation, control and applications of vibro-impact processes.

The aim of this International Symposium on Dynamics of Vibro-Impact Systems is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent developments in the theory and industrial applications of vibro-impact ocean systems. A special effort has been made to invite active researchers from engineering, science, and applied mathematics communities. This symposium has indeed updated engineers with recent analytical developments of vibro-impact dynamics and at the same time allowed engineers and industrial practitioners to alert mathematicians with their unresolved issues. The symposium was held in Troy, Michigan, during the period October 1-3, 2008. It included 28 presentations grouped as follows: The first group comprises of nine papers dealing with the interaction of ocean systems with slamming waves and floating ice. It also covers related topics such as sloshing-slamming dynamics, and non-smooth dynamics associated with offshore structures. Moreover, it includes control issues pertaining to marine surface vessels. The second group consists of fifteen papers treats the interaction of impact systems with friction and their control, Hertzian contact dynamics, parameter variation in vibro-impact oscillators, random excitation of vibro-impact systems, vibro-impact dampers, oscillators with a bouncing ball, limiting phase trajectory corresponding to energy exchange between the oscillator and external source, frequency-energy distribution in oscillators with impacts, and discontinuity mapping. The third group is covered in four papers and addresses some industrial applications such as hand-held percussion machines, rub-impact dynamics of rotating machinery, impact fatigue in joint structures.

Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics based onthe nonlinear dynamics analysis Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system iscritically impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable forproperly characterizing grazing bifurcation. The authors establishvibro-impact dynamics as a subset of the theory of discontinuoussystems, thus enabling all vibro-impact systems to be explored andcharacterized for applications. Vibro-impact Dynamics presents an original theoreticalway of analyzing the behavior of vibro-impact dynamics that can beextended to discontinuous dynamics. All topics are logicallyintegrated to allow for vibro-impact dynamics, the central theme,to be presented. It provides a unified treatment on the topicwith a sound theoretical base that is applicable to both continuousand discrete systems Vibro-impact Dynamics: Presents mapping dynamics to determine bifurcation and chaos invibro-impact systems Offers two simple vibro-impact systems with comprehensivephysical interpretation of complex motions Uses the theory for discontinuous dynamical systems ontime-varying domains, to investigate the Fermi-oscillator Essential reading for graduate students, university professors,researchers and scientists in mechanical engineering.

This book presents the innovative and interdisciplinary application of advanced technologies. It includes the scientific outcomes and results of the conference 12th Day of Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Art and Sciences held in Mostar, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, June 24-27, 2021. The latest developments in various fields of engineering have been presented through various papers in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computing, electrical and electronics engineering, and others. A new session, Sustainable Urban Development: Designing Smart, Inclusive and Resilient Cities, was organized, enabling experts in this field to exchange their knowledge and expertise.

This book presents the theoretical frame for studying lumped nonsmooth dynamical systems: the mathematical methods are recalled, and adapted numerical methods are introduced (differential inclusions, maximal monotone operators, Filippov theory, Aizerman theory, etc.). Tools available for the analysis of classical smooth nonlinear dynamics (stability analysis, the Melnikov method, bifurcation scenarios, numerical integrators, solvers, etc.) are extended to the nonsmooth frame. Many models and applications arising from mechanical engineering, electrical circuits, material behavior and civil engineering are investigated to illustrate theoretical and computational developments.
