This book reports on a novel approach for generating mechanical energy from different, external heat sources using the body of a typical piston engine with valves. By presenting simple yet effective …

This book discusses the influence of quasiperiodic force on dynamical system. With this type of forcing, different types of attractors are possible, for example, strange nonchaotic attractors which h …

This book is devoted to the theory of chaotic oscillations in mechanical systems. Detailed descriptions of the basic types of nonlinearity — impacts and dry friction — are presented. The properties o …
