Development of abstract thinking and mastering methods of chaos testing in dynamic systems.

Ability to recognize and analyse chaotic movements of mechanic systems.

Qualitative dynamics. Vector field as a dynamic system. Balance position and their stability. Attractors. Poincare conjecture. Bifurcation of periodic orbits. Chaos in deterministic systems. Criterion for chaos existing. Melnikov criterion. Numerical method for chaotic movement analysis. Qualitative measures of deterministic chaos. Ljapunov characteristic exponent. Strange attractors. Examples of chaos: Van der Pol`s oscillator, Duffing equation, Lorenz equations.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
