Synopsis

In this book the modern theory of both regular and chaotic nonlinear oscillations is set out, primarily, as applied to mechanical problems. The material is presented in a nontraditional manner with emphasis on the new results of the theory obtained partially by the author, who is one of the leading experts in the area. Among the up-to-date topics are synchronization and chaotization of self-oscillatory systems and the influence of weak random vibrations on the modification of characteristics and behavior of nonlinear systems. One of the purposes of the book is to enable readers to gain a thorough understanding of this theory and to show that it can be very useful in engineering investigations. The primary audience for this book is researchers working with different oscillatory processes and students interested in a thorough study of the general laws and applications of the theory of nonlinear oscillations.

From the Back Cover

In the present book the modern theory of non-linear oscilla- tions both regular and chaotic, is set out, primarily, as applied to mechanical problems. The material is presented in a non-traditional manner with emphasizing of the new results of the theory otained partially by the author, who is one of the leading experts in the area. Among the up-to-date topics are synchronization and chaotization of self-oscillatory sy- stems, the influence of weak random vibration on modificati- on of characteristics and behavior of the non-linear systems etc. One of the purposes of the book is to convince the rea- ders of the necessity of a thorough study of this theory and to show that it can be very useful in engineering investiga- tions. The primary readers for this book are researchers working with different oscillatory processes, and both un- der-graduate and post-graduate students interested in a deep study of the general laws and applications of the theory of nonlinear oscillations. The instructors can find here new materials for lecturess and optinal courses.
