Explores the latest theoretical and experimental advances, and the correlation between them or lack thereof, into the effect of non-linearities and various damping phenomena on an approach to modeling a structure's response to dynamic loads that combines small elements for which the elastic behavior is already known. Success in such research will allow the modeling of composite materials and link components that increasingly used in actual structures but are difficult to handle with finite element methods. The 49 papers cover substructuring and modal synthesis, modal identification, updating finite elements models, vibracoustic analysis, the non-deterministic analysis of structures, and non-linear analysis and identification.

The modal analysis of the structures appears to be an essential tool to master their dynamic behaviour. Particularly, the modal synthesis methods combined with the updating technics of the Finite Element models lead to the definition of strategies peculiarly efficient. At present, several developments are being carried out in order to spread these procedures to the latest requirements in structural dynamics: Vibro-acoustic . behaviour; Stochastic approach; Non-linear analysis; Introduction of composite materials. The target of the MV2 International Conference was to take stock of the new methods suggested and to assess their effectiveness. The interest in this book is to gather original works that rely on high-level approaches although these works are clearly intended to industrual applications.
