Molecular Dynamics: Development Experience and General Trends

The Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a vast research field attempting to model natural phenomena on a wide span of length&time scales ranging from atomistic (angstrom: 10-10m) to tissue/material fragment(micrometer:10-6m) length scales as well as from picoseconds (QM/MM simulations) to microseconds (protein folding, membrane protein function) time scales.

Intermingling in ecology

Chaotic dynamical systems with two or more attractors lying on invariant subspaces may, provided certain mathematical conditions are fulfilled, exhibit intermingled basins of attraction: each basin is riddled with holes belonging to basins of the other attractors. In order to investigate the occurrence of such phenomenon in dynamical systems of...

Thermomechanical modelling of shape memory alloys

Gradient plasticity from the bottom up and the top down

"From the bottom up": The basic mechanism of plastic deformation is the generation and motion of dislocations.

Quality of service and the DVB return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) standard

This presentation describes the challenges in providing a DVB-RCS two-way Internet satellite system that supports multiple classes of service. It examines the interaction of the control-loop presented by the Radio Resource Management (RRM), defined by the SatLabs Forum, in relation to the ETSI/BSM IntServ Quality of Service (QoS) model. It...

New methods for dynamic mechanical systems under impulse process stochastic excitations

Some dynamic load (excitation) processes have a nature of a train of impacts, shocks, or short duration loads (general pulses) occurring at random time instants.

Optimizing synchronization in complex networks

There has been mounting evidence that a plethora of biological and technological networks possess a clustered structure, i.e., structure consisting of interconnected subnetworks, each with dense internal connections. As many system functions depend on synchronization, it is important to address how complex clustered networks can be best synchronized.

Dynamics of strongly Nonlinear coupled oscillators described by transient nonlinear normal modes

Ragged synchronizability of nonlinear oscillators

The industrial applications of lasers

Prof Jueptner has a long and distinguished record in optical metrology and laser-target interactions. His talk will be wide ranging from holography to laser welding.
