The interest of the applied mechanics community in chaotic dynamics
of engineering systems has exploded in the last fifteen years,
although research activity on nonlinear dynamical problems in
mechanics started well before the end of the Eighties. It developed
first within the general context of the classical theory of
nonlinear oscillations, or nonlinear vibrations, and of the
relevant engineering applications. This was an extremely fertile
field in terms of formulation of mechanical and mathematical
models, of development of powerful analytical techniques, and of
understanding of a number of basic nonlinear phenomena. At about
the same time, meaningful theoretical results highlighting new
solution methods and new or complex phenomena in the dynamics of
deterministic systems were obtained within dynamical systems theory
by means of sophisticated geometrical and computational techniques.
In recent years, careful experimental studies have been made to
establish the actual occurrence and observability of the predicted
dynamic phenomena, as it is vitally needed in all engineering
fields. Complex dynamics have been shown to characterize the
behaviour of a great number of nonlinear mechanical systems,
ranging from aerospace engineering applications to naval
applications, mechanical engineering, structural engineering,
robotics and biomechanics, and other areas. The International Union
of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics grasped the importance of such
complex phenomena in the Eighties, when the first IUTAM Symposium
devoted to the general topic of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in
applied mechanics and engineering was held in Stuttgart (1989).
