ABSTRACTIn this short note a comparison is made between the methodology of nonlinear analysis in machine systems versus structural systems. Because of strong nonlinearities in machines with parts in relative motion, chaotic-like dynamics are more likely to occur in complex multi-body machines than in structural systems. Furthermore, it is conjectured that well designed machines have evolved to where a small amount of chaos is always present and is sometimes desired.

This short note gives an overview of recent research on topics concerning Financial, Housing, and Monetary markets. In particular, I introduce a special issue that includes a selection of papers presented at the second International Workshop on Financial Markets and Nonlinear Dynamics (FMND) held in Paris in June 2015 (www.fmnd.fr). The papers investigate various issues and discuss hypotheses that help us to understand asset price dynamics and their impact on real activity, as well as the new rules governing financial markets. Furthermore, their conclusions can help us to improve the forecasting of market trends in the future.

In the preceding article, I reviewed two seismic design codes of the Building Standard Law of Japan, revised in 1981 and 2000, with the transition of Japanese seismic design codes. Having read the 1974 review by Dr. Makoto Watabe, I was most impressed by his comprehensive understanding of seismic structural systems for buildings – an understanding that is fresh even today, more than 3 decades later. He moves from the basic principles for seismic building design to earthquake-resistant properties of building. The general seismic design principles of buildings he has reviewed are very sound and introduced both in current seismic design codes I have reviewed and the seismic design of super high-rise buildings over 60 m high.
