Abstract
This papers is concerned with the determination of basin boundaries in experimental nonlinear oscillators. Global transient behaviour has received considerable attention in numerical studies but is relatively unexplored from an experimental perspective, despite the fact that a global view of transient behaviour provides a much more complete description of the dynamics of a system than a traditional concentration on steady-state behaviour. Three differnt physical systems are studied: two mechanical and one electrical.
