A vast development of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory recently led to the publication of many books. The main objective of this volume is to provide a general methodology for solving and analyzing discontinuous systems. It focuses on mechanical engineering problems where clearances, piecewise stiffness, intermittent contact, variable friction or other forms of discontinuities occur. The practical applications include thermomechanics, rotor dynamics, vehicle dynamics and manufacturing.

This is the first book to introduce the irrational elliptic function series, providing a theoretical treatment for the smooth and discontinuous system and opening a new branch of applied mathematics. The discovery of the smooth and discontinuous (SD) oscillator and the SD attractors discussed in this book represents a further milestone in nonlinear dynamics, following on the discovery of the Ueda attractor in 1961 and Lorenz attractor in 1963.
This particular system bears significant similarities to the Duffing oscillator, exhibiting the standard dynamics governed by the hyperbolic...
