The chaotic behavior of pendulum is usually associated with the random force acting on a pendulum (Brownian motion). Another type of chaotic motion (deterministic chaos) occurs in nonlinear systems with only few degrees of freedom. This book presents a comprehensive description of these phenomena going on in underdamped and overdamped pendula subject to additive and multipPendulumChaotic behavior in systemsPendulum.Chaotic behavior in systems.003/.857Gitterman M536602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788556703321The chaotic pendulum3676447UNINA03545oam 2200721Ia 450 991077983100332120190503073317.01-282-10006-897866121000620-262-28192-90-585-44265-7ebc3338852(CKB)111056485416702(EBL)3338852(SSID)ssj0000128685(PQKBManifestationID)11144215(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000128685(PQKBWorkID)10069277(PQKB)11645112(MiAaPQ)EBC3338852(OCoLC)51958199(OCoLC)290602794(OCoLC)475456133(OCoLC)532372095(OCoLC)614508136(OCoLC)646742132(OCoLC)666932791(OCoLC)722659947(OCoLC)815776719(OCoLC)961536312(OCoLC)961651666(OCoLC)962589857(OCoLC)962672389(OCoLC-P)51958199(MaCbMITP)2097(Au-PeEL)EBL3338852(CaPaEBR)ebr10225309(CaONFJC)MIL210006(OCoLC)51958199(PPN)170270130(EXLCZ)9911105648541670220030402d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrConfronting consumption /edited by Thomas Princen, Michael Maniates, and Ken ConcaCambridge, Mass.
