Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Nonlinear Oscillations

Abstract : This book is devoted to the approximate asymptotic methods of solving the problems in the theory of nonlinear oscillations met in many fields of physics and engineering. It is intended for the wide circle of engineering-technical and scientific workers who are concerned with oscillatory processes. Contents include the following: Natural oscillations in quasi-linear systems; The method of the phase plane; The influence of external periodic forces; The method of the mean; Justification of the asymptotic methods.
