Chaotic Vibrations

by Francis C. Moon

New mathematical ideas in nonlinear dynamics and chaos are translated in this book into a language that engineers and scientists can understand and specific examples and applications of chaotic dynamics in the physical world are given. The book describes how to perform both computer and physical experiments in chaotic dynamics, and covers topics such as Poincarre maps, fractal dimensions and Lyapunov exponents, illustrating their use in specific physical...
