The treatment of chaotic dynamics in mathematics and physics during
last two decades has led to a number of new concepts for the
investigation of complex behavior in nonlinear dynamical processes.
The aim the CISM course Engineering Applications of Dynamics of
Chaos of which this is the proceedings volume was to make these
concepts available to engineers and applied scientists possessing
only such modest knowledges in mathematics which are usual for
engineers, for example graduating from a Technical University. The
contents of the articles contributed by leading experts in this
field cover not only theoretical foundations and algorithmic and
computational aspects but also applications to engineering
problems. In the first article an introduction into the basic
concepts for the investigation of chaotic behavior of dynamical
systems is given which is followed in the second article by an
extensive treatment of approximative analytical methods to
determine the critical parameter values describing the onset of
chaos. The important relation between chaotic dynamics and the
phenomenon of turbulence is treated in the third article by
studying instabilities various fluid flows. In this contribution
also an introduction into interesting phenomenon of pattern
formation is given. The fourth and fifth articles present various
applications to nonlinear oscillations including roll motions of
ships, rattling oscillations in gear boxes, tumbling oscillations
of satellites, flutter motions of fluid carrying pipes and
vibrations of robot arms. In the final article a short treatment of
hyperchaos is given.
