      The problem of controlling chaos, that is to convert the chaotic behaviour to a periodic time dependence is discussed. We described a number of effective controlling methods in the context of ...

    • Bifurcations and Chaos in Voice Signals 

      Hanspeter Herzel (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1993)
      The basic physical mechanisms of speech production is described. A rich variety of bifurcations and episodes of irregular behaviour are observed. Poincaré sections and the analysis of the ...

      A review of the use of boundary integral equations in aerodynamics is presented, with the objective of addressing what has been accomplished and, even more, what remains to be done. The paper ...

    • Qualitative Aspects of Nonlinear Wave Motion: Complexity and Simplicity 

      J. Engelbrecht (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1993)
      The nonlinear wave processes possess many qualitative properties which cannot be described by linear theories. In this presentation, an attempt is made to systematize the main aspects of this ...
