In this book, the global sequential scenario of bifurcation trees of periodic motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems is presented for a better understanding of global behaviors and motion transitions for one periodic motion to another one.
The Brusselator is a mathematical model for autocatalytic reaction, which was proposed by Ilya Prigogine and his collaborators at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles.
The inherent complex dynamics of a parametrically excited pendulum is of great interest in nonlinear dynamics, which can help one better understand the complex world.
Engineering Mechanics is one of the fundamental branches of science which is important for the education of professional engineers regardless of major.
Regarding the vast use of chemical components in different human activities, they are susceptible to corrosion because of contact with aggressive environments.
This book aims to provide the basic theory of fractional calculus and its applications based on practical schemes and approaches, illustrated with applicable engineering and technical examples, especially focusing on the fractional-order controller design.
Engineering Dynamics is an introductory textbook covering the kinematics and dynamics of particles, systems of particles, and kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies.
This book is aimed at those in engineering/scientific fields who have never learned programming before but are eager to master the C language quickly so as to immediately apply it to problem solving in numerical analysis.
Fundamentals of mathematical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) start with definitions of major variables and parameters in MHD fluids (also known as MHD media) and specifically plasmas encountered in nature as well as in engineering sytems, e.
Introduction to Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery is presented in lecture notes format and is suitable for a single-semester three credit hour course taken by juniors in an undergraduate degree program majoring in mechanical engineering.
This book provides fundamental principles, design procedures, and design tools for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with three sections focusing on vehicle design, autopilot design, and ground system design.
This text provides background information, description, and analysis of four major cooling system technologies-vapor compression cooling, evaporative cooling, absorption cooling, and gas cooling.
Finite element analysis is a basic foundational topic that all engineering majors need to understand in order for them to be productive engineering analysts for a variety of industries.
Hitting the Wall examines the combination of two intractable energy problems of our age: the peaking of global oil production and the overloading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35-40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions.
This book is the first of two volumes which have been created to provide an understanding of the basic principles and applications of electromagnetic fields for electrical engineering students.
The book promotes an interdisciplinary approach to maintenance, through the presentation of practical and theoretical research in the field of electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering.
