Engineering systems have played a crucial role in stimulating many of the modern developments in nonlinear and stochastic dynamics. After 20 years of rapid progress in these areas, this book provides an overview of the current state of nonlinear modeling and analysis for mechanical and structural systems. This volume is a coherent compendium written by leading experts from the United States, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, and Australia. The 22 articles describe the background, recent developments, applications, and future directions in bifurcation theory, chaos, perturbation methods,...

This new text/reference is an excellent resource for the foundations and applications of control theory and nonlinear dynamics. All graduates, practitioners, and professionals in control theory, dynamical systems, perturbation theory, engineering, physics and nonlinear dynamics will find the book a rich source of ideas, methods and applications. With its careful use of examples and detailed development, it is suitable for use as a self-study/reference guide for all scientists and engineers.

A book is never the sole accomplishment of the authors. It is built on the foun- dation of established mathematics, and it benefits from current developments within the mathematical community. Many colleagues have contributed ideas, comments, and corrections to this volume. There are, first of all, our students C. Bauer, G. Grammel, 1. Greger, S. Grtinvogel, G. Hackl, and D. Szolnoki in Augs- burg, and E. Joseph, R.-G. Lai, S. Lin, C.-M. Ou, and H. Wang in Ames. We have received comments from, among others, L. Arnold, V. Ayala, K. Grasse, D. Hinrichsen, R. Johnson, Y. Latushkin, J.L. Massera,...
