"Oscillators Applications to Engineering and Science" ed. by Jose M. Balthazar, Angelo M. Tusset

This book provides a comprehensive overview of oscillators and their applications. It includes chapters on “MEMS and NEMS”, “Vibrations” and “Modeling”.

Over the years, the construction of models has played an important part in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge. The study of problems involving the coupling of several systems has been widely explored, essentially in the function of the change of constructive characteristics of machines and structures. Accordingly, vibrating (oscillatory) processes can be divided into the following types: free, forced, parametric, and self-excited oscillations. Furthermore, two or more oscillations can interact in the same oscillatory system.
