This book is primarily intended as a textbook for intermediate to advanced graduate students who have already had an introductory course on PDE and some familiarity with functional analysis …

The presented description of the nonlinear behavior of a negative-feedback amplifier is valid in the instantaneous situation only. It gives yet‚ however‚ a rather good insight in what key aspects …

For the hardening nonlinear system, the bifurcations and chaos eliminate dense linear resonances above the nonlinear locally resonant (NLR) bandgap. Conse-quently, the chaos band …

This is on the one hand the new paradigm of Economic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control, in which more general optimal control problems than those penalizing the distance to a desired …

Control theory for nonlinear systems is a set of special case results, for the simple reason that, unlike linear systems, the nonlinear differential equations used to describe them cannot …

rchers who are learning the nonlinear FEM for the first time. The objective of this textbook is to simply introduce the nonlinear finite element analysis procedur

The nonlinear equations of wave propagation in electromagnetic solids with the couplings of mechanical, electrical, and magnetic fields are presented with the three-dimensional nonlinear …

There are two approaches used for the formulation of the geometric nonlinear problem—the Eulerian approach and the Lagrangian approach. In the former, the fsormulation is done on …

The nonlinear refractive index of optical fibers engenders these phenomena, which greatly contribute to the capabilities and impediments of high-capacity Lightwave systems.

Chapter 10 NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS equires a nonlinear structural analysis. The structural nonlineari-ties can be classified as geometric nonlinearity, material nonlineari …
