Introduction to Nonlinear Mechanics: Topological Methods, Analytical Methods, Nonlinear Resonance, Relaxation Oscillations is a comprehensive guide to the study of nonlinear mechanics. The book is authored by Nicolai Minorsky and covers a range of topics related to nonlinear mechanics, including topological methods, analytical methods, nonlinear resonance, and relaxation oscillations.The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of nonlinear mechanics, including the difference between linear and nonlinear systems, and the types of nonlinear systems that exist. The author then goes on to discuss topological methods, which are used to study the structure of nonlinear systems. This section covers topics such as phase space, fixed points, and limit cycles.The next section of the book focuses on analytical methods, which are used to solve nonlinear equations. The author covers a range of techniques, including perturbation methods, multiple scales, and bifurcation theory. The section on nonlinear resonance explores the phenomenon of resonance in nonlinear systems, including the types of resonance that can occur and how they can be analyzed.Finally, the book covers relaxation oscillations, which are a type of nonlinear oscillation that occurs in systems that have a slow response to external stimuli. The author discusses how relaxation oscillations can be analyzed and modeled, and how they can be used to study a range of physical phenomena.Overall, Introduction to Nonlinear Mechanics: Topological Methods, Analytical Methods, Nonlinear Resonance, Relaxation Oscillations is a comprehensive guide to the study of nonlinear mechanics. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, engineering, and mathematics, as well as researchers and professionals in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
