This book presents the proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Optimal Design and Control of Multibody Systems 2022, covering research papers in the realm of optimal structural and control design for both rigid and flexible multibody systems. It delves into the application of the adjoint approach, enabling the undertaking of extensive topology optimizations to unearth body designs that excel under time- and design-dependent loads. Encompassing presentations on (adjoint) sensitivity analysis, structural optimization, optimal control, robust optimization, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational methods and software development, the IUTAM Symposium 2022 showcased the latest breakthroughs and innovative methodologies. This book presents 14 meticulously peer-reviewed proceedings papers from the event, evenly split between the Optimal Design and Optimal Control panels.

Scaling methods apply wherever there is similarity across many scales or one need to bridge different scales, e. The emphasis in the Symposium was upon fundamental issues such as: mathematical foundations of scaling methods based on transformations and connections between multi-scale approaches and transformations.

This Symposium provided an international forum for exchange of ideas and creation of knowledge in recent advances on Multi-Functional Material Structures and Systems. Novel theories, mathematical models, analyses, and application of computational and experimental methods are topics treated. In particular, this work reflects the state of the art in mathematical modeling, computational methods, new experimental methods, new and advanced engineering applications in emerging technologies advanced sensors, structural health monitoring, MEMS, and advanced control systems.

To celebrate the sesquicentennial of Helmholtz's paper, IUTAM sponsored a symposium that was held at the technical university of Denmark in October 2008. This volume contains the papers presented as lectures at the symposium on Point vortices, vortex sheets, vortex filaments, vortex rings, vortex patches, and vortex streets.

In addition to the wave electronics and phononic crystals, to facilitate the emerging needs in the quantitative nondestructive evaluation of materials, waves in anisotropic solids and/or electro-, magneto- interaction problems also regained much attention recently.

The study of wall-bounded turbulent ows is of considerable interest from both scienti c and practical view points.

Today, multi-functional materials such as piezoelectric/ferroelectric ceramics, magneto-strictive and shape memory alloys are gaining increasing applications as sensors, actuators or smart composite materials systems for emerging high tech areas.

IUTAM Symposium Proceedings. This will be a spin-off volume from a special volume of the International Journal of Fracture. It will capture the current models, theories and experiments related to fracture and fragmentation. As such, it will be a good reference work in this area.

Contains papers on the main topics reflecting the scientific programme of the symposium: hierarchical, refined mathematical and technical models of shells, plates, and beams; relation of 2D and 1D models to 3D linear, non-linear and physical models; junction problems.

Comprises papers based on some of the talks presented at the IUTAM Symposium of the same name, held in Cape Town, January 14-18, 2008. This book discusses various issues in modeling, the behavior of various classes of inelastic media, and associated algorithms for carrying out computational simulations.

Topics covered in particular include multi-scale particle methods for numerical simulations, liquid-wall interactions and modeling approaches, modeling of immersed nano-scale structures, organized flow behavior at micro and nano-scales, and methods for control of micro- and nano-scale flows.

The Symposium brought together many of the world's experts in fluid mechanics, microfabrication and control theory to discover the synergy that can lead to real advances and perhaps find ways in which collaborative projects may proceed. The high profile meeting was attended by keynote speakers who are leaders in their fields.

In recent years, discretization methods have been proposed which are more flexible and which have the potential of capturing (moving) discontinuities in a robust and efficient manner. It provides the most comprehensive coverage of state-of-the art numerical methods for treating discontinuities in mechanics.

To successfully design and fabricate novel nanomaterials and nanosystems, we must necessarily bridge the gap in our understanding of mechanical properties and processes at length scales ranging from 100 nanometers (where atomistic simulations are currently possible) to a micron (where continuum mechanics is experimentally validated).
