We cordially invite you to attend the lecture of prof. Olega Gendelman (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technion)
to be held in the ITAM AS CR (Prosecká 76), Prague, on 21st June 2017, at 14:00. Abstract: Over recent years, a lot of progress has been achieved in understanding of the relationship between localization and transport of energy in essentially non-linear oscillatory systems. In this lecture we are going to demonstrate that the structure of the resonance manifold can be conveniently described in terms of canonical action-angle variables. Such formalism has important theoretical advantages: all resonance manifolds may be described at the same level of complexity, appearance of additional conservation laws on these manifolds is easily proven both in autonomous and non-autonomous settings. The harmonic balance - based complexification approach, used in many previous studies on the subject, is shown to be a particular case of the canonical formalism. Moreover, application of the canonic averaging allows treatment of much broader variety of dynamical models. As an example, energy exchanges in a system of coupled vibro-impact oscillators are considered. Other example addresses an escape of classical particle from infinite-range potential well under periodic external forcing. Further generalizations of the formalism describe travelling waves and breathers in strongly nonlinear discrete lattices and continuous systems. | |

On Friday, May 12th, 2017, world experts on heritage science gathered at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of Czech Academy of Sciences to participate on a workshop "Challenges in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage". The workshop was organized in cooperation with CTU and Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research WKI. It also provided an opportunity to honour the contribution to the heritage science of the leaving director of ITAM CAS, v. v. i., Professor Drdácký. Amongst the participants were respected experts from Europe, USA, Israel and China. The introduction speech was given by the future director of ITAM, Assoc. Professor Pospíšil, followed by the director of Fraunhofer WKI, Professor Bohumil Kasal. Doctor Slížková then read a kind letter from Ingwal Maxwel, who was unable to come. She then congratulated to Professor Drdacký and wished him on behalf of all those present many personal and professional achievements in the future. The workshop consisted of four discussion sessions, introduced by moderators, in which prepared discussions were presented. The contributions examined the heritage science from different perspectives of various disciplines. The contributions from the workshop will be published. The discussion topics were:

| Name: | Performance of Piles under Seismic Impacts from PBEE and Reliability Analyses Using EQWEAP Procedures |
| Date: | 26.11.2015 - 26.11.2015 |
| Contact person: | Cyril Fischer, Ph.D. |
we are honoured to invite you to a lecture by
Prof. Der-Wen Chang, Tamkang University, Taiwan
Abstract: Seismic behavior and performance of the piles can be studied using simplified one-dimensional wave equation analysis called EQWEAP. This solution was found compatible with the rigorous FEM solutions. Using such analysis, the performance based seismic design of the pile foundation becomes easily accessible. This presentation will mainly discuss the methods used in this approach with the probability and reliability based analyses to evaluate the seismic resistance of the pile foundation under various seismic hazard concerns.
About the speaker: Prof. Der-Wen Chang works in the Department of Civil Engineering at Tamkang University. His research is concentrated on Soil Dynamics, Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil-Structure Interactions, in particular on
