PT Journal AU Stejskal, T Svetlik, J Demec, P Sidlovska, L TI Modeling of Transient Nonlinear Phenomena using a Modified Logistic Equation SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2016 BP 62 EP 69 VL 20 IS 2 DI 10.21496/ams.2016.016 DE nonlinear dynamic; logistic map; logistic function; chaos AB The paper deals with modelling of nonlinear transient responses that occur in the technical and natural objects. In the field of non-linear phenomena are generated structures that have regular and chaotic nature. As a modelling tool, we used a modification of the logistic equation. Search and display of various structures was achieved when using parameter iterations of modified logistic equation. An iterative method in this case appears to be a very effective tool. The novelty of the method is in creating regular and chaotic structures in the time development of nonlinear functions. ER
