Introduction to Engineering Nonlinear and Parametric Vibrations with MATLAB and Maple

The text begins by introducing and providing the required math and computer skills for understanding and simulating nonlinear vibration problems. This section also includes a thorough treatment of parametric vibrations. Many illustrative examples, including software examples, are included throughout the text. A companion website includes the MATLAB and MAPLE codes for examples in the textbook, and a theoretical development for a homoclinic path to chaos.
