Catastrophe theory and its application status in mechanical engineering
Catastrophe theory is a kind of mathematical method which aims to apply and interpret the discontinuous phenomenon. Since its emergence, it has been widely used to explain a variety of emergent phenomena in the fields of natural science, social science ...

Catastrophe theory describes how small, continuous changes in control parameters (i.e., independent variables that influence the state of a system) can have sudden, discontinuous effects on dependent variables. Such discontinuous, jumplike changes are called phase-transitions or catastrophes.

Catastrophe Theory and Caustics [PDF]
In this paper it is shown by elementary methods that in codimension two and under the assumption that light rays are straight lines, a caustic is the catastrophe set for a timefunction. The general case is also discussed.

VARIATIONS OF THE ENERGY METHOD FOR STUDYING CONSTRUCTION STABILITY
Objectives. The aim of the work is to find the most rational form of expression of the potential energy of a nonlinear system with the subsequent use of algebraic means and geometric images of catastrophe theory for studying the behaviour of a ...

Catastrophic behavior of aphid population dynamics: An analysis of swallowtail model [PDF]
Catastrophe phenomena are frequent in insect ecology, especially in aphid populations. Complexity of this phenomenon urges different modeling frameworks other than traditional methodologies to understand the trajectories of their behavior.

Catastrophe model in nonlinear dynamical systems and working groups
This paper employs catastrophe theory which analyzes changes in dynamical systems depending on two or more parameters at the same time. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the dynamics of the swallowtail catastrophe depending on the values of
