Nonlinear Interactions: Analytical, Computational, and Experimental Methods (Wiley Series in Nonlinear Science)

By Ali H. Nayfeh

An understanding of the dynamic characteristics of a structural system is essential for its design and control. Many important characteristics can only be modelled by nonlinear governing equations. This publication deals with the subject of nonlinear interactions. It covers analytical, computational and experimental methods which are extremely important tools for engineers who analyze vibrations in mechanical systems to determine the stability, instability and/or potential failure of the system.
