An extended case study - an experiment in mechanical vibration - introduces the subject of nonlinear dynamics. Beginning with a review of basic principles, the text then describes a cart-on-a-track oscillator and shows what happens when it is gradually subjected to greater excitation, thereby encountering the full spectrum of nonlinear behavior, from simple free decay to chaos.
