BIFURCATION AND CHAOS IN COUPLED OSCILLATORS
by J Awrejcewicz (Lódz Tech. Univ.)
This book develops a general methodological approach to investigate complex physical systems presented by the author in a previous book. The nonlinear dynamics of coupled oscillators is investigated numerically and analytically. Three different mechanical, and one biomechanical, examples are used to demonstrate a general systematical approach to the study of dissipative dynamical systems. Many original examples of special chaotic behavior are discussed and illustrated.
Contents:
- Dynamics of a Self-Excited Stick-Slip Oscillator
- Dynamics
of Two Coupled Externally-Driven Oscillators
- Chaos in a Sinusoidally (Parametrically and Externally) Driven System with Three Degrees of Freedom
- Dynamics of the Human Vocal Cords
Readership: Nonlinear scientists, researchers and students of mechanical engineering, physics
and applied mathematics.
