Degree: Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Author Marcelo Amorim Savi
Summary: The text Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos presents the basic concepts of nonlinear dynamical systems and an introduction to Chaos with sufficient depth to maintain all the necessary mathematical rigor and, at the same time, be accessible to those who wish to begin studying this interesting area. Throughout the text, problems are addressed not only in the area of mechanical engineering, but also in other areas. The concepts, presented in a generalized way, can be applied to any area of knowledge. Experimental and numerical work developed by the author is present in the text, in addition to simple algorithms, allowing the reader to efficiently explore the concepts presented. The unique characteristics of this excellent text make it suitable for use in both more advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.
