Chaotic Dynamics and the Newtonian Legacy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The legacy of Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia is evident today throughout the mathematical sciences. Applications of his mechanics range from protein dynamics through macroscopic engineering and space ...
Designing Against Capsize in Beam Seas: Recent Advances and New Insights
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanics of ship capsize under steady and transient conditions is reviewed, focusing on recent applications of global geometrical techniques of nonlinear dynamics. These yield significant new ...
Subharmonic and Chaotic Motions of Compliant Offshore Structures and Articulated Mooring Towers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant offshore structures have complex nonlinear dynamics. Subharmonic resonances can co-exist with small fundamental motions. To prevent a simulation missing an entire subharmonic peak, a ...
