Global Nonlinear Dynamics for Engineering Design and System Safety

Uniquely highlights the role of global dynamics for the analysis and control of nonlinear response, and for interpreting/predicting experimental behavior

The first book on dynamical integrity as a unified perspective for improving load carrying capacity and safety of engineering systems via a novel design paradigm

Moves from slender structures/reduced-order models in macro and micro/nano-mechanics to multidimensional models representative of real world applications
