IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinearity and Stochastic Structural Dynamics: Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Madras, Chennai, India 4-8 January 1999

Nonlinearity and shastic structural dynamics is of common interest to engineers and applied scientists belonging to many disciplines. Recent research in this area has been concentrated on the response and stability of nonlinear mechanical and structural systems subjected to random escitation. Simultaneously the focus of research has also been directed towards understanding intrinsic nonlinear phenomena like bifurcation and chaos in deterministic systems. These problems demand a high degree ...
