IFToMM conferences have a history of success due to the various advances achieved in the field of rotor dynamics over the past three decades. These meetings have since become a leading global event, bringing together specialists from industry and academia to promote the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and information on the latest developments in the dynamics of rotating machinery. The scope of the conference is broad, including e.g. active components and vibration control, balancing, bearings, condition monitoring, dynamic analysis and stability, wind turbines and generators, electromechanical interactions in rotor dynamics and turbochargers. The proceedings are divided into four volumes. This fourth volume covers the following main topics: aero-engines; turbochargers; eolian (wind) generators; automotive rotating systems; and hydro power plants.

The contents of this multi-author volume addressses basic and applied problems in modelling and controlling dynamical systems. Both basic techniques and specific applications are covered. Among the former are such topics as complex bifurication structure of equilibria and periodic solutions, explicit equations of motion for systems with nonideal constraints, dynamics of folded media, nonlinear analysis of simulations and experiemental measurements, and others. In the latter, among the topics covered are optimization of space trajectories, robust control of steer by wire systems, noise control in ducts, aircraft control in windshear , the liar paradox and fuzzy logic, teaching to be led and others.
