Vibration, Control and Stability of Dynamical Systems

From Preface: This is the fourteenth time when the conference “Dynamical Systems: Theory and Applications” gathers a numerous group of outstanding scientists and engineers, who deal with widely understood problems of theoretical and applied dynamics. Organization of the conference would not have been possible without a great effort of the staff of the Department of Automation, Biomechanics and Mechatronics. The patronage over the conference has been taken by the Committee of Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland. It is a great pleasure that our invitation has been accepted by recording in the history of our conference number of people, including good colleagues and friends as well as a large group of researchers and scientists, who decided to participate in the conference for the first time. With proud and satisfaction we welcomed over 180 persons from 31 countries all over the world. They decided to share the results of their research and many years experiences in a discipline of dynamical systems by submitting many very interesting papers. This year, the DSTA Conference Proceedings were split into three volumes entitled “Dynamical Systems” with respective subtitles: Vibration, Control and Stability of Dynamical Systems; Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Dynamical System Analysis and Engineering Dynamics and Life Sciences. Additionally, there will be also published two volumes of Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics entitled “Dynamical Systems in Theoretical Perspective” and “Dynamical Systems in Applications”

Embodied knowledge: the case of ensemble performance

Ensemble performance requires interaction to a degree rarely found outside of music. Current research on ensembles has increasingly focused on the communicative properties of performers’ physical gestures. However, this approach presupposes that communication underlies most ensemble interaction, disregarding the wealth of non-communicative interaction which may occur. In examining this topic, I have formulated three questions: • How do musicians interact and share information with each other while performing? • To what extent does the musical content being performed affect the ways it has to be physically created by musicians? • How does the physical relationship between the performer and their instrument relate to communicative and interactive processes of ensemble performance? I argue that musicians’ physical motions could not only be influenced by musical content but also be required for effective performance. These motions may be interpreted as meaningful by observers and co-performers. My research applies rehearsal observation and reflective practice within the framework of action research, allowing me to collaborate with Birmingham Conservatoire’s Boult Quartet (a postgraduate string quartet) and The Supergroup (an improvising ensemble of doctoral students) in examining the complexities of ensemble performance through an understanding of its phenomenologies, contributing to current cross-disciplinary research on embodied knowledge
