Abstract
The objectives of this course is to provide the theoretical background of modern stochastic methods in nonlinear
structural dynamics with applications to civil engineering structures subjected to extreme loadings such as
earthquake, flooding and impact. Topics such as element formulation, energy/momentum conserving scheme,
stochastic spectral analysis and contact/impact algorithms are addressed. The courses consists of morning
lectures and afternoon tutorials.

Short Biography
Lecturers Biographies
Olivier BRÜLS is Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Liège in Belgium. After a Master degree in
Mechanical Engineering obtained in 2001, he achieves a Ph.D. thesis at the University
of Liège in 2005. In 2005, he spends a postdoctoral year within the Institute of
Engineering and Computational Mechanics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Since 2008, he is the head of the Multibody and Mechatronic Systems Lab at the
University of Liège and his research interests include flexible multibody dynamics,
mechatronics, numerical simulation, and control and optimization methods with
applications in the fields of robotics, biomechanics and deployable structures. He is also involved in the Laboratory of Human Motion Analysis of the University of Liège. He is associate editor of the
journal "Mechanism and Machine Theory" and member of the advisory board of the journal "Multibody System
Dynamics".
Vincent DENOËL is Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of Liège. He
received his Diploma (M.Sc.) in Civil Engineering and his Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Applied
Sciences, in 2001 and 2005, respectively, both from the University of Liège. From
2001-2009 he was a Researcher for the National Research Fund in Belgium. He then
became a Professor at the University of Liège. His areas of research concern the
random dynamics of low-dimensional systems, structural dynamics, the
characterization of dynamic actions and the numerical simulation of flexible
structures and biomechanics. The diversity of his area of activity results from very
varied postdoctoral stays in Germany, Japan and Australia. He teaches structural dynamics, structural design
against exceptional loads, probabilities and stochastic mechanics, and perturbation methods for engineers.
Vincent DENOËL is also appointed as an Adjunct Professor and is a member of the PhD doctoral school at the
University of Minnesota, where he co-supervises doctoral theses. He has collaborations with important research
and industrial partners across Europe and America. He owns a world record for the longest death ride installed in
urban area (2010) and received in 2015 the “Junior Award” of the International Association for Wind Engineering.
Member of the advisory board of the journal "Multibody System Dynamics".
