BIFURCATION AND CHAOS IN SIMPLE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

by J Awrejcewicz (Inst. of Applied Mechanics, Poland)

This book presents a detailed analysis of bifurcation and chaos in simple non-linear systems, based on previous works of the author. Practical examples for mechanical and biomechanical systems are discussed. The use of both numerical and analytical approaches allows for a deeper insight into non-linear dynamical phenomena. The numerical and analytical techniques presented do not require specific mathematical knowledge.
