This volume contains the notes of lectures given at the school on
"Nonlinear Dy namics in Solids" held at the Physikzentrum Bad
Honnef, 2-6 October 1989 under the patronage of the Deutsche
Physikalische Gesellschaft. Nonlinear dynamics has become a highly
active research area, owing to many interesting developments during
the last three decades in the theoretical analysis of dynamical
processes in both Hamiltonian and dissipative systems. Research has
been focused on a variety of problems, such as the characteristics
of regular and chaotic motion in Hamiltonian dynamics, the problem
of quantum chaos, the forma tion and properties of solitary
spatio-temporal structures, the occurrence of strange attractors in
dissipative systems, and the bifurcation scenarios leading to
complex time behaviour. Until recently, predictions of the theory
have been tested predominantly on insta bilities in hydrodynamic
systems, where many interesting experiments have provided valuable
input and have led to a fruitful interaction between experiment and
theory. Fluid systems are certainly good candidates for performing
clean experiments free from disturbing influences: with fluids,
compared to solids, it is simpler to prepare good samples, the
relevant length and time scales are in easily accessible ranges,
and it is possible to do measurements "inside" the fluid, because
it can be filled in after the construction of the apparatus.
Further, the theory describing the macroscopic dynamics of fluids
is well established and contains only very few parameters, all of
which have well-known values."
