Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third of three volumes includes papers from the second series of NODYCON, which was held virtually in February of 2021. The conference papers reflect a broad coverage of topics in nonlinear dynamics, ranging from traditional topics from established streams of research to those from relatively unexplored and emerging venues of research. These include · Complex dynamics of COVID-19: modeling, prediction and control · Nonlinear phenomena in bio-systems and eco-systems · Energy harvesting · MEMS/NEMS · Multifunctional structures, materials and metamaterials · Nonlinear waves · Chaotic systems, stochasticity, and uncertainty
