Overview

Nonlinear Mechanics at Osaka University uncover laws and principles underlying apparently complicated phenomena to describe the real world more precisely than the "linear mechanics."

Specific examples range over chaos in turbulence, solitons in nonlinear waves, mesoscopic mechanics from micro- to nano-scales, localization of deformation, crack, fracture and so on.

Features

The Division consists of four groups specializing thermal engineering and science, fluid mechanics, fracture mechanics and solid mechanics with contributions to energy and environmental problems, new materials, and security against failure of mechanical systems.
