The Euromech Colloquium 541 is aimed at joining scientists working in the field of linear and nonlinear dynamics,
chaos and control of systems and structures made of composite materials for smart applications.
Particular emphasis will be given to the most recent achievements in the modeling, theoretical, analytical, numerical,
experimental and control in the field of nonlinear dynamics of
composites.
Another key issue is the exploitation of classical or modern control methods for optimizing the performances of
composites materials and structures. In this respect, any work presenting cutting-edge applications,
even with 'simple' theoretical/analytical/numerical background, is highly welcome. At the same time, even 'simple'
applications of advanced and new behaviors of composites are solicited. There is no restrictions on the kind of
technological area of interest, which can be classical (e.g. aeronautics), well-established (civil) or challenging
for the future (e.g. bioengineering, MEMS). Prototypes development as well as preliminary experimental investigations
of new devices are welcome, too. As far as the methodological approach is concerned, both multidisciplinary and
multi-approach researches will be given consideration.
