Applied Dynamics and Geometric Mechanics

Abstract

The workshop was organized around core topics in applied dynamics and geometric mechanics. Each speaker and invitee presented a new mathematical or computational tool. They also showed how their tool or technique is useful in applications, or how it bridges the gap between these areas and some interesting aspect of the pure mathematical side of dynamical systems or geometric mechanics. The meeting was not restricted to any particular application area, but rather focused on cross fertilizing a number of topics in Engineering and the Sciences. The meeting was well attended with about 45 participants with broad geographic representation from all continents. There was an excellent blend of senior researchers, students, postdocs and junior faculty.
