The special topic volume of Applied Mechanics and Materials book series with invited peer reviewed papers only. The main topics of this Special Issue are linear and, mainly, nonlinear dynamics, chaos and control of systems and structures and their applications in different field of science and engineering. According to the goal of the Special Issue, the selected contributions are divided into three major parts: âVibration Problems in Vertical Transportation Systemsâ, âNonlinear Dynamics, Chaos and Control of Elastic Structuresâ and âNew Strategies and Challenges for Aerospace and Ocean Structures Dynamics and Controlâ. The discussion of real problems in aerospace and how these problems can be understood and solved in view of numerical, computational, theoretical and experimental approaches is an important field in engineering science. The contributions pertaining this class of problems and methods associated to aerospace structures are an important part of this special issue. The contributions cover mathematical modeling, nonlinear analysis, control theory, nonlinear state estimation, experimental analysis and related topics associated to artificial satellites, airplanes, rockets, space tethers, helicopters and related systems.
