Beschreibung

Type: Book The interest of the applied mechanics community towards chaotic dynamics of engineering systems has exploded in the last fifteen years. Today, it is generally accepted that nonlinear vibration problems of advanced systems should be addressed through the combined use of analytical, computational, geometrical and experimental approaches, by paying also attention to the interaction with control features. The outstanding points of these proceedings are a coherent compendium of the current state of theory and applications of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in mechanics, along with their control. Subject areas include: Bifurcation and chaos, mechanical and structural systems, nonsmooth dynamics, delay and random systems, control of systems and processes, synchronization and control of chaos. Major achievements are highlighted as regards: Complex systems and processes for classical and innovative applications, features of nonlinear interactions, patterns of novel bifurcations of non-smooth systems, dimensionality and reduced-order models of continuous systems, exploitation of dynamical systems properties for applications, implications of chaos for design and operating conditions, control of spatio-temporal dynamics. 504pp.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The interest of the applied mechanics community in chaotic dynamics of engineering systems has exploded in the last fifteen years, although research activity on nonlinear dynamical problems in mechanics started well before the end of the Eighties. It developed first within the general context of the classical theory of nonlinear oscillations, or nonlinear vibrations, and of the relevant engineering applications. This was an extremely fertile field in terms of formulation of mechanical and mathematical models, of development of powerful analytical techniques, and of understanding of a number of basic nonlinear phenomena. At about the same time, meaningful theoretical results highlighting new solution methods and new or complex phenomena in the dynamics of deterministic systems were obtained within dynamical systems theory by means of sophisticated geometrical and computational techniques. In recent years, careful experimental studies have been made to establish the actual occurrence and observability of the predicted dynamic phenomena, as it is vitally needed in all engineering fields. Complex dynamics have been shown to characterize the behaviour of a great number of nonlinear mechanical systems, ranging from aerospace engineering applications to naval applications, mechanical engineering, structural engineering, robotics and biomechanics, and other areas. The International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics grasped the importance of such complex phenomena in the Eighties, when the first IUTAM Symposium devoted to the general topic of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in applied mechanics and engineering was held in Stuttgart (1989).

From the reviews:

"The volume under review ... shows which subjects in the field of nonlinear dynamics and control are currently hot research topics in the applied mechanics community. ... There is no doubt that this volume will be great help for everybody, but especially for young scientists wishing to enter this field because it gives a nice state-of-the-art collection of papers on the subject from the engineering point of view." (Hans Troger, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1106 (8), 2007)
