Vibro-impact Dynamics 

Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics based on
the nonlinear dynamics analysis

Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system is
critically impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable for
properly characterizing grazing bifurcation. The authors establish
vibro-impact dynamics as a subset of the theory of discontinuous
systems, thus enabling all vibro-impact systems to be explored and
characterized for applications.

Vibro-impact Dynamics presents an original theoretical
way of analyzing the behavior of vibro-impact dynamics that can be
extended to discontinuous dynamics. All topics are logically
integrated to allow for vibro-impact dynamics, the central theme,
to be presented. It provides a unified treatment on the topic
with a sound theoretical base that is applicable to both continuous
and discrete systems

Vibro-impact Dynamics:

* Presents mapping dynamics to determine bifurcation and chaos in
vibro-impact systems

* Offers two simple vibro-impact systems with comprehensive
physical interpretation of complex motions

* Uses the theory for discontinuous dynamical systems on
time-varying domains, to investigate the Fermi-oscillator

Essential reading for graduate students, university professors,
researchers and scientists in mechanical engineering.

Professor Luo is currently a Distinguished Research
Professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He is an
international renowned figure in the area of nonlinear dynamics and
mechanics. For about 30 years, Dr. Luo’s contributions on
nonlinear dynamical systems and mechanics lie in (i) the local
singularity theory for discontinuous dynamical systems, (ii)
Dynamical systems synchronization, (iii) Analytical solutions of
periodic and chaotic motions in nonlinear dynamical systems, (iv)
The theory for stochastic and resonant layer in nonlinear
Hamiltonian systems, (v) The full nonlinear theory for a deformable
body. Such contributions have been scattered into 13 monographs and
over 200 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers. His new
research results are changing the traditional thinking in nonlinear
physics and mathematics. Dr. Luo has served as an editor for the
Journal ‘Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical
simulation’, book series on Nonlinear Physical Science (HEP)
and Nonlinear Systems and Complexity (Springer). Dr. Luo is the
editorial member for two journals (i.e., IMe Ch E Part K Journal of
Multibody Dynamics and Journal of Vibration and Control). He also
organized over 30 international symposiums and conferences on
Dynamics and Control.
