With this paperback reissue of Professor Moon's classic, we hope to interest a new generation of readers intrigued by unpredictability in the laws of physics and its manifestation in the physical world in the form of chaotic dynamics.
Written for engineers and applied scientists, Chaotic Vibrations gives specific examples and applications of chaotic dynamics in the physical world. It also describes how to perform both computer and physical experiments in chaotic dynamics. Topics covered include:
Poincaré maps
Fractal dimensions
Lyapunov exponents
Experiments in chaos
Chaos in engineering
