Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: Advances and Perspectives
This book is a collection of papers contributed by some of the greatest names in the areas of chaos and nonlinear dynamics. Each paper examines a research topic at the frontier of the area of dynamical systems. As well as reviewing recent results, each paper also discusses the future perspectives of each topic. The result is an invaluable snapshot of the state of the ?eld by some of the most important researchers in the area. The ?rst contribution in this book (the section entitled “How did you get into Chaos?”) is actually not a paper, but a collection of personal accounts by a number of participants of the conference held in Aberdeen in September 2007 to honour Celso Grebogi’s 60th birthday. At the instigation of James Yorke, many of the most well-known scientists in the area agreed to share their tales on how they got involved in chaos during a celebratory dinner in Celso’s honour during the conference. This was recorded in video, we felt that these accounts were a valuable historic document for the ?eld. So we decided to transcribe it and include it here as the ?rst section of the book.
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycles and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalization, fractals, and strange attractors.
Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics for Design of Mechanical Systems Across Different Length/Time Scales
This book presents insights from the IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics for Design of Mechanical Systems Across Different Length/Time Scales. It covers a diverse array of topics, including applications of parametric amplification and self-excitation, as well as the design and analysis of devices and systems that harness geometric and material nonlinearities. The book features chapters on nonlinear energy transfer, eigenfrequency detection through subharmonic and superharmonic resonances, and the innovative use of nonlinear mode localization. The authors explore dynamic stabilization under high-frequency excitation, the utilization of multimode interactions and nonlinear normal modes, and the application of nonlinear resonance and bifurcation in creating ultrasensitive sensors and high-performance actuators. This book provides a comprehensive record of the symposium's discussions, representing a collective effort to expand our understanding of nonlinear phenomena and its potential to reshape the landscape of mechanical system design.
