Spectral submanifolds (SSMs) have emerged as accurate and predictive model reduction
tools for dynamical systems defined either by equations or data sets. While finite-elements …

Dynamic analysis of solar array structures is a challenging job due to their complexity and
nonlinearity. In this paper, an accurate and efficient reduced-order model of the solar array …

The computation of the steady-stateresponse of large finite element discretized systems
subject to periodic excitations is unfeasible because of excessive run time and memory …

We present a technique for the direct optimization of conservative backbone curves in
nonlinear mechanical systems. The periodic orbits on the conservative backbone are …

We present a novel technique to significantly reduce the offline cost associated to non-
intrusive nonlinear tensors identification in reduced order models (ROMs) of geometrically …

Advanced automation tools are promising widerange solutions for the various problems still
affecting HighTemperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets, including NonInsulated (NI) …

In this paper, a nonlinear dynamic analysis framework capable of predicting the shape
defects and geometric nonlinearities for the rotating components is developed. The shape …
