Nodycast: The Podcast on Nonlinear Dynamics

Nodycast: The Podcast on Nonlinear Dynamics

C 'Nat' Nataraj

Nodycast is a lively podcast discussing the theory, techniques and latest innovations in nonlinear dynamics, and its applications to systems of all kinds. This includes almost everything under the sun such as mechanical, structural, electrical, chemical, thermo-fluid, ecological, economic, epidemiological, biological and chemical systems. It is hosted by Dr. 'Nat' C. Nataraj, Moritz Professor at Villanova University and Senior Editor for Nonlinear Dynamics, a Springer-Nature journal.

6. Nonlinear Dynamics in Mechanics (Part 2)

6. Nonlinear Dynamics in Mechanics (Part 2)

2023-07-30

This episode features Part 2 of a stimulating discussion between Dr. Nataraj (host) and Prof. Giuseppe Rega. Prof. Rega is a Professor Emeritus at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy, and is a prolific and noted scholar with many publications in nonlinear dynamics. His work ranges over a number of diverse areas including structural mechanics, controls and exploiting nonlinearity. In this episode, we discuss the history of nonlinear dynamics, the current state of the art as well as possible future directions. We laud many current developments but even complain about some directions! The discussion is split into Parts 1 and 2. Please check Episode 5 for Part 1.

Nodycast: Episode 3.  Chaos Theory (Part 1)

Nodycast: Episode 3. Chaos Theory (Part 1)

2021-10-21

This is the third episode of Nodycast, the podcast on nonlinear dynamics and is the first of two parts. In this episode (Part 1) we discuss chaos theory. We have an expert panel: Dr. Celso Grebogi (University of Aberdeen, UK), Dr. Laura Gardini (University of Urbino, Italy), Dr. Stefano Lenci (Polytechnical University of Marche, Italy) and your host, Dr. C. Nataraj (Villanova University, USA). We discuss the history of chaos theory, significant developments, chaos control, unsolved problems, intersection with different fields such as machine learning, Special Issue of the Nonlinear Dynamics journal, etc. Also discussed are suggestions for possible research in the future. The conversation is quite broad and even wanders into areas such as literature, history and philosophy!

Nodycast: Episode 2. Nonlinear Dynamics of the COVID-19 Pandemic (#2)

2021-02-17

This is the second episode of Nodycast, the podcast on nonlinear dynamics and has been split into two parts. In this episode (Part 2) we continue to discuss nonlinear modeling and dynamic analysis of pandemics, in particular, COVID-19. We have an expert panel: Dr. Gergely Rost (University of Szeged, Hungary), Dr. Bala Balachandran (University of Maryland), Dr. J. Tenreiro Machado (University of Porto, Portugal) and Dr. C. Nataraj (Villanova University, USA). We discuss compartment vs. agent-based models, parametric vs. data-based models, seasonality, predictability, control techniques, effect of social behavior, government action, etc. Also discussed are the issues about data and possible research in the future.
