Bifurcation and Stability in Nonlinear Discrete Systems

Prof. Albert C. J. Luo is a Distinguished Research Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Manitoba, Canada, in 1995. His research focuses on mechanics, dynamics and mechanical vibration, and he has published over 40 books, and more than 200 journal articles and conference papers in these fields. He received the Paul Simon Outstanding Scholar Award in 2008 and an ASME fellowship in 2007. He now serves as Co-editor of the Journal of Applied Nonlinear Dynamics and Editor of various book series, including “Nonlinear Systems and Complexity,” and “Nonlinear Physical Science.”
