Analytical routines to chaos in nonlinear engineering

This book comprehensively covers analytical solutions of periodic motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems, considering engineering applications, design and control. Analytical Routes to Chaos in Nonlinear Engineering discusses analytical solutions of periodic motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems in engineering and considers engineering applications, design, and control. It systematically discusses complex nonlinear phenomena in engineering nonlinear systems, including the duffing oscillator, nonlinear self-excited systems, nonlinear parametric systems and nonlinear rotor systems. Nonlinear models used in engineering are also presented and a brief history of the topic is provided. Analytical Routes to Chaos in Nonlinear Engineering is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners across engineering, mathematics and physics disciplines, and is also useful background reading for graduate students. This applications oriented book uses clear and comprehensive illustrations to present concepts.
