Parametric Resonance in Dynamical Systems

“Parametric Resonance in Dynamical Systems” by Thor Fossen, published by Springer Science & Business Media on December 13, 2011, is a comprehensive exploration of parametric resonance and its implications in various mechanical systems. This edition spans 330 pages and is presented in English, offering insights into the mathematical foundations of the phenomenon, particularly the Mathieu-Hill equation, and its relevance to vehicles, motorcycles, aircraft, and marine craft.

Readers will find a detailed examination of how parametric resonance manifests in ships and offshore systems, as well as its frequency in both mechanical and electrical contexts. The book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and mechanical engineers, particularly those engaged in fields such as micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), maritime engineering, and ground vehicle engineering. Through its focused discussions, this volume aims to enhance understanding of the dynamics involved in these applications.
