Public Workshop on Nonlinear Vibrations in Structural Dynamics

Inventum Engineering Solutions, in collaboration with XCTE, successfully delivered a two-day public online workshop on Nonlinear Vibrations in Structural Dynamics on 20-21 November 2025.

The workshop brought together participants from industry and academia across Europe and the United States, including industry professionals, research engineers and PhD-level researchers.

Key technical insights

• Nonlinearities manifest as amplitude-dependent dynamics, higher harmonics, and modal interactions
• Robust test-based detection requires complementary tools such as homogeneity tests and time-frequency analysis
• Nonlinear frequency response surfaces provide an effective framework to extract amplitude-dependent modal parameters
• Efficient simulation workflows benefit from model reduction techniques and advanced solvers

The theoretical foundations were complemented by practical workflow implementation guidelines and real-world industrial case studies, emphasizing applicability in engineering workflows.
