Scope

Nonlinear dynamics

Although the brand name ENOC (European Nonlinear Oscillations Conference) is still used as the historical abbreviation, the European Nonlinear Dynamics Conferences aim at covering the complete field of Nonlinear Dynamics, including Multibody Dynamics and coupling to Stability, Identification, Control and (Structural) Optimization.
During the last few decades, the area of nonlinear dynamics has been evolving in a revolutionary way, with applications to a wide variety of engineering systems made possible by the use of sophisticated computational techniques employing powerful concepts and tools of dynamical systems, bifurcation and chaos theory.

Issues

Two main general issues characterize the present research framework: (i) the need to overcome the limitations inherent in the archetypal single- or few-degree-of-freedom models mostly considered in the past, and to deal with real systems; (ii) the increased interest towards exploiting nonlinear dynamics modelling and analysis for designing physical and engineering systems and controlling their nonlinear and complex behavior.

Aim

The aim is towards: (i) developing more reliable reduced-order models for the analysis of the actually high-dimensional systems and processes encountered in most technical applications; (ii) obtaining further meaningful hints for model validation from calibrated experimental investigations; (iii) generalizing concepts and techniques for the analysis of new complex behaviors; (iv) exploring implications of nonlinearity and chaos in design and operating conditions of advanced systems, as well as needs and features for their control.
Overall, it is important to remember how difficult and involved is the passage from simple models to actual engineered systems, with their inherent complexity.
ENOC 2011 is aimed at bringing together a wide variety of specialists with the purpose to show the latest achievements, to foster future directions for development, to exchange experience, and to stimulate further interaction, by diving deep into both theory and recent applications of nonlinear dynamics.
