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.
Vladimir Babitsky was born before the Second World War and migrated
West after Perestroika. The theory of vibro-impact systems that he
developed helped create the world's safest jackhammer and other
record-breaking machines. The author has lived through a series of
fascinating epochs: experiencing life under totalitarianism,
witnessing the Soviet Union's collapse, and then migrating to
Europe as a specialist in his field. "On the Waves of a Pulsating
World" is an animated and highly engaging story about the journey
of an engineer; from childhood daydreams to creating new
technologies, from East to West, and from concepts to realities. It
is also the story of people who outshine authoritarianism.
