Nonlinear Oscillators and their Behaviour

By Ivana Kovacic and Michael J. Brennan

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

The Duffing Equation: Nonlinear Oscillators and their Behaviour compiles extensive research on the Duffing equation, a fundamental model in engineering with numerous scientific applications. Written by specialists in nonlinear dynamics, the chapters cover different forms of the equation and relate them to various oscillatory systems. The text clearly connects physical problems with their mathematical descriptions and offers explanations accessible to readers with limited mathematical background.

The book includes sections on the historical context of Georg Duffing, practical system examples governed by the equation, and a comprehensive exploration of its various forms. It integrates experimental, analytical, and numerical approaches alongside nonlinear dynamics concepts, providing a unified treatment of these physical systems.

Description

The Duffing Equation: Nonlinear Oscillators and their Behaviour brings together the results of a wealth of disseminated research literature on the Duffing equation, a key engineering model with a vast number of applications in science and engineering, summarising the findings of this research. Each chapter is written by an expert contributor in the field of nonlinear dynamics and addresses a different form of the equation, relating it to various oscillatory problems and clearly linking the problem with the mathematics that describe it.

The editors and the contributors explain the mathematical techniques required to study nonlinear dynamics, helping the reader with little mathematical background to understand the text.

The Duffing Equation provides a reference text for postgraduate students and researchers of mechanical engineering and vibration/nonlinear dynamics, as well as a useful tool for practising mechanical engineers.

Includes a chapter devoted to historical background on Georg Duffing and the equation that was named after him.
Includes a chapter solely devoted to practical examples of systems whose dynamic behaviour is described by the Duffing equation.
Contains a comprehensive treatment of the various forms of the Duffing equation.
Uses experimental, analytical, and numerical methods as well as concepts of nonlinear dynamics to treat the physical systems in a unified way.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Zentralblatt MATH (2011) praises the book as a well-written and tightly edited exposition on Duffing equations and nonlinear oscillators' behaviour. It highlights the book's relevance and usefulness for students, engineers, and researchers studying nonlinear phenomena, supported by over 340 references.
