Nonlinearity and complexity characterize a wide variety of systems in science and engineering, where even simple governing laws can generate intricate and sometimes unpredictable behavior. Understanding complex dynamics—such as bifurcations, chaos, multi-stability, and emergent patterns—is essential for advancing research and innovation across modern technological and scientific disciplines. With the increasing use of advanced computational tools, data-driven modeling, and improved experimental techniques, the study of nonlinear dynamics continues to gain importance in addressing challenges in structural mechanics, materials science, robotics, energy systems, and many other fields.
This Special Issue aims to provide a focused platform for presenting recent advances in the analysis, modeling, and control of complex phenomena in nonlinear systems. It welcomes both fundamental theoretical developments and practical applications, encouraging interdisciplinary contributions that connect classical analytical methods with modern computational and experimental approaches.
Suggested themes for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
· Nonlinear vibration, stability, chaos, synchronization and bifurcation analysis
· Metamaterials, meta-structures and multiscale nonlinear structures
· Nonlinear system identification, reduced-order modeling, and machine learning techniques
· Fluid Structure Interaction
· Complex dynamics in biomechanical, energy, and transportation systems
· Control strategies for nonlinear and adaptive systems
This Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research, review articles, and case studies that advance our understanding of complex nonlinear dynamics.
