Book description
Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics based on the
nonlinear dynamics analysis
Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system is critically
impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable for properly
characterizing grazing bifurcation. The authors establish vibro-impact
dynamics as a subset of the theory of discontinuous systems, thus
enabling all vibro-impact systems to be explored and characterized for applications.
Vibro-impact Dynamics presents an original theoretical way of
analyzing the behavior of vibro-impact dynamics that can be extended
to discontinuous dynamics. All topics are logically integrated to
allow for vibro-impact dynamics, the central theme, to be
presented. It provides a unified treatment on the topic with a sound
theoretical base that is applicable to both continuous and discrete systems
Vibro-impact Dynamics:
- Presents mapping dynamics to determine bifurcation and chaos in
vibro-impact systems
- Offers two simple vibro-impact systems with comprehensive physical
interpretation of complex motions
- Uses the theory for discontinuous dynamical systems on
time-varying domains, to investigate the Fermi-oscillator
Essential reading for graduate students, university professors,
researchers and scientists in mechanical engineering.
