No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-03-03; In this chapter several examples of physical systems whose dynamic behaviour can be approximated by several forms of the Duffing equation are given. The physical systems are chosen to illustrate the physical phenomena that result in different forms of this equation related to several types of geometric ...

The first is a pure cubic nonlinear oscillator with a constant and a harmonic force acting on it, associated with a vibration isolator. The second is a hanging cable which the asymmetry is caused by gravity. Both of these systems have a sin...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-01-01; Blind source separation (BSS) is an emerging technique in array processing and data analysis, aimed at recovering unobserved sources from observed signals which are a filtered mix of the sources. The only assumption in the technique is the mutual independence or uncorrelation of the source signals. This...
