Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics based on the nonlinear dynamics analysis Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system is critically impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable for properly characterizing grazing bifurcation.[...]

Covers analytical solutions of periodic motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems, considering engineering applications, design and control. This book discusses analytical solutions of periodic motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems in engineering and considers engineering application[...]
