The intent of this project is the procurement of a symbolic                     computation facility to support research at the Virginia                        Polytechnic Institute and State University in the area of                       nonlinear motion and control of structural and dynamical systems.               The facility comprises an Apollo computational workstation that                 supports MACSYMA, a symbolic manipulation tool developed at the                 Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of MIT.  This equipment will                 be used in the nonlinear analysis and control of structures and                 dynamical systems in general and large flexible structures in                   particular.  Four current projects will benefit from this                       facility.  Two are supported by the Air Force, one by NSF, and                  one by ONR.  The Air Force projects combine theoretical and                     experimental techniques to investigate the nonlinear dynamics and               control of flexible and SDI structures, the NSF project addresses               theoretical and experimental techniques for the nonlinear                       response of dynamic systems to multifrequency excitations, and                  the ONR project addresses the nonlinear motion and hydrodynamics                of ships.
