Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dynamical systems are pervasive in various areas of science whose research has been the focus of recent studies, leveraging a valuable integration of theoretical and applied investigations.
Bi-stable dynamic systems exhibit two stable states, they include various thin laminate structures, post-buckled beams, bi-stable mechanical systems, etc. Additionally, bi-stable structures can be utilized in many engineering fields such as commercial and fighter morphing aircrafts, energy harvesters, and shock absorbers. It is very important for researchers and engineers to get knowledge of the dynamic properties and dynamic responses of bi-stable systems. Establishing mathematical models of bi-stable systems and structures to find and analyze the solutions is crucial for their use in contemporary studies.
The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to present original research articles and review articles, which will help with the understanding of how to establish mathematical models and methods for analyzing dynamical systems with a particular interest in systems with bi-stable structures, furthermore, contributing to the understanding of their unique dynamic behaviors and reveal the mechanism behind them, as well as the utilization of the results in advanced science applications.
We are particularly interested in articles from experts and active researchers to present their recent achievements and progress in this area of scientific research, including methods in modeling and analysis in dynamical systems as well as bi-stable structures, potential applications for dynamical systems, especially bi-stable structures in engineering and mechanics.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- New researches on modeling and numerical simulations of dynamical systems;
- Dynamics and control of complex systems;
- Advanced modeling and analysis for bi-stable systems;
- Natural vibration of bi-stability laminate structures;
- Recent research on nonlinear dynamics of bi-stability structures;
- Recent advances about bifurcation behaviors of dynamical systems and bi-stable systems;
- Recent advances about analysis methods of bi-stable dynamic systems;
- Studies on the applications of bi-stability structures in energy harvesters;
- Studies on the applications of bi-stability structures in shock absorbers.
