Bifurcation and Chaos in Mechanical Applications: A Dynamical Systems Approach to Their Control

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and its Applications ((SMIA,volume 122))

Abstract

This work reviews in an unified context some previous independently developed works by the authors related to a method for controlling nonlinear dynamics and chaos in mechanical oscillators based on optimal elimination of homo/heteroclinic bifurcations.
