Attitude dynamics is the theoretical foundation of angle keep an eye on of spacecrafts in aerospace engineering. With the advance of nonlinear dynamics, chaos in spacecraft perspective dynamics has drawn nice cognizance because the 1990's. the matter of the predictability and controllability of the chaotic angle movement of a spacecraft has a pragmatic importance in astronautic technology. This publication goals to summarize easy recommendations, major ways, and up to date growth during this region. It makes a speciality of the study paintings of the writer and different chinese language scientists during this box, offering new tools and viewpoints within the research of spacecraft angle movement, in addition to new mathematical types, with sure engineering backgrounds, for extra analysis.
Professor Yanzhu Liu used to be the Director of the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Shanghai Jiao Tong college, China. Dr. Liqun Chen is a Professor on the division of Mechanics, Shanghai college, China.

Example text
Not all invariant sets are an attractor, because they may be without attractability. In dissipative systems, all observable chaos, in laboratory experiments or numerical simulations, should be attractor, with significantly large basin of attraction. The collection of initial conditions under which the motion tends toward a given attractor is called a basin of attraction. In a more general sense, the range of values of certain system parameters for which the motion tends toward a prescribed attractor is called a basin of attraction in the parameter space.
Chaos, as a recurrent aperiodic motion, has no pattern or order to follow, just like a stochastic process. Actually, the spectrum of a chaotic motion has a continuous broadband, which is the same as a true random signal. In contrast, the spectra of periodic or quasiperiodic motions consist of a number of sharp spikes. In addition 34 Chapter 2 A Survey of Chaos Theory to the broadband component, the spectrum of a chaotic motion often contains spikes, which indicate the predominant frequencies of the motion.
For an m-torus, m Lyapunov exponents are zero because there are m tangential directions to the torus along which there is neither growth nor decay. If there are one or more positive Lyapunov exponents, these exponents correspond to the directions along which the initial disturbances become larger and larger. Thus a bounded trajectory with one or more positive Lyapunov exponents represents chaotic motion. 1 for low dimensional systems. 3 Power Spectra The power spectra are a basic tool to analyze random vibrations.
