The Netherlands: Springer, 2005. The interest of the applied mechanics community towards chaotic dynamics of engineering systems has exploded in the last fifteen years. Today, it is generally accepted that nonlinear vibration problems of advanced systems should be addressed through the combined use of analytical, computational, geometrical and experimental approaches, by paying also attention to the interaction with control features. The outstanding points of these proceedings are a coherent compendium of the current state of theory and applications of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in mechanics, along with their control. Subject areas include: Bifurcation and chaos, mechanical and structural systems, nonsmooth dynamics, delay and random systems, control of systems and processes, synchronization and control of chaos. Major achievements are highlighted as regards: Complex systems and processes for classical and innovative applications, features of nonlinear interactions, patterns of novel bifurcations of non-smooth systems, dimensionality and reduced-order models of continuous systems, exploitation of dynamical systems properties for applications, implications of chaos for design and operating conditions, control of spatio-temporal dynamics. 504pp. .

Stillwater, MN, U.S.A.: Voyageur Press, Incorporated, 2001. This is both an exciting history and a tour guide, illustrating the fascinating development of the lighthouses of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Long Island. Marcus and Kelly explain and show the technological evolution of lighthouses, the development of lights and lenses, the architecture of lighthouses, their construction and maintenance on remote sites, the life of the Lighthouse Service keepers, and the movement today to preserve and restore lights. Also included are excerpts from original logs and a descriptive tour of the last manned lighthouse in America, Boston Light, with its three resident Coast Guardsmen and their dog. The stunning photography includes intriguing images of lights in all kinds of weather -- plus photographs that bring readers inside the structures, showing the curling stairways, lenses, the keeper's homes, and more. A comprehensive appendix lists all the current New England lighthouses. 160pp.. ISBN: 0896586170. Paperback. As New. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

London: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001. Nonlinearity and stochastic structural dynamics is of common interest to engineers and applied scientists belonging to many disciplines. Recent research in this area has been concentrated on the response and stability of nonlinear mechanical and structural systems subjected to random excitation. Simultaneously the focus of research has also been directed towards understanding intrinsic nonlinear phenomena like bifurcation and chaos in deterministic systems. These problems demand a high degree of sophistication in the analytical and numerical approaches. At the same time they arise from considerations of nonlinear system response to turbulence, earthquake, wind, wave and guidancy excitations. The topic thus attracts votaries of both analytical rigour and practical applications. This book gives important and latest developments in the field presenting in a coherent fashion the research findings of leading international groups working in the area of nonlinear random vibration and chaos.321pp..
