Title: Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Author: Marcelo Amorim Savi
Abstract : 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 while remaining accessible to those wishing to begin their studies in this interesting area. Throughout the text, problems from mechanical engineering, as well as other fields, are addressed. The concepts, presented in a generalized way, can be applied to any area of knowledge. Experimental and numerical work developed by the author is included in the text, along with 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 advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
