The detection of cracks in beams using chaotic excitations

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for crack detection is explored by means of numerical simulations, using a chaotic signal as an input excitation and attractor-based measures, which is modelled as a single degree of freedom piece-wise linear system whose stiffness is different during compression and expansion of the crack.

Testing the anisotropy in the angular distribution of $Fermi$/GBM gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: In this article, a number of statistical tests are applied: nearest neighbor analysis, fractal dimension, dipole and quadrupole moments of the distribution function decomposed into spherical harmonics, binomial test, and two point angular correlation function.

Weak Chaos, Infinite Ergodic Theory, and Anomalous Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce weak chaos, aspects of its ergodic theory description, and properties of the anomalous dynamics associated with it, and show the importance of weak chaos for understanding experimental results on biological cell migration.

The processes of meaning making, starting from the morphogenetic theories of René Thom:

TL;DR: In this paper, each process of meaning making is seen as a field of semiotic organization that shows a variety of continuities and discontinuities, rather than as a linear trajectory of accumulated signs, pro...

Optical image encryption using improper Hartley transforms and chaos

TL;DR: A new method for image encryption using improper Hartley transform and chaos theory and two chaotic random intensity masks is proposed and the mean square error has been calculated.

Synchronization in chaotic systems

TL;DR: This chapter describes the linking of two chaotic systems with a common signal or signals and highlights that when the signs of the Lyapunov exponents for the subsystems are all negative the systems are synchronized.

The Fractal Geometry of Nature

TL;DR: A blend of erudition (fascinating and sometimes obscure historical minutiae abound), popularization (mathematical rigor is relegated to appendices) and exposition (the reader need have little knowledge of the fields involved) is presented in this article.

Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations

TL;DR: The prerequisite for the study of this book is a knowledge of matrices and the essentials of functions of a complex variable as discussed by the authors, which is a useful text in the application of differential equations as well as for the pure mathematician.
