Episode 7: Nonlinear Normal Modes

This episode features a stimulating discussion between Prof. Nataraj (host) and Prof. Steven Shaw.  Prof. Shaw is a Professor at Florida Tech in Melbourne, Florida, and is a prolific and noted scholar with many publications in nonlinear dynamics.  His work ranges over a number of diverse areas including fundamental physics, modeling, and design of resonant micro/nano-electro-mechanical systems, their applications in time-keeping and sensing, and in the dynamics and design of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers for rotating machinery, with automotive applications.  In this episode, we discuss an introduction to the concept of nonlinear normal modes as well as Steve's significant contribution to this topic.
