Catastrophe static generalized

As with any analytical method, the ability to extract semiquantitative or quantitative information is the ultimate challenge. Generally, static SIMS is not used in this mode, but one application where static SIMS has been used successfully to provide quantitative data is in the accurate determination of the coverage of fluropolymer lubricants. These compounds provide the lubrication for Winchester-type hard disks and are direaly related to ultimate performance. If the lubricant is either too thick or too thin, catastrophic head crashes can occur. 

When the condition (1.9) is not met in (1.6), we deal with dynamical catastrophes. In some cases, for example for the so-called Hopf bifurcation, dynamical catastrophes may be examined by static methods of elementary catastrophe theory or singularity theory (Chapter 5). General dynamical catastrophes, taking place in autonomous systems, are dealt with by generalized catastrophe theory and bifurcation theory (having numerous common points). Some information on general dynamical catastrophes will be provided in Chapter 5.
