The International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine, Italy, offers an Advanced Course on Model Order Reduction for Design, Analysis and Control of Nonlinear Vibratory Systems being organised by Cyril Touzé (Paris) and Attilio Frangi (Milano).

Six lecturers will contribute to this one-week course (October 9-13, 2023), among them THREAD's Principal investigator Olivier Thomas (ENSAM). Olivier plans to give lectures on

• analytical and finite element models for geometrically and piezoelectric nonlinear structures,
• numerical continuation methods, stability and bifurcations,
• experimental continuation and identification of nonlinear systems and
• applications in nonlinear dynamics of MEMS, parametric driving and amplification and piezoelectric passive control of structures.
