We present a review on one of the latest developments in the field of dynamical systems, The nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer (TET). The great significance of the phenomenon lies in the fact that the systems in which Nonlinear TET occurs present a form of self-tuning and can transfer energy over a wide variety of frequencies (resonances). This makes nonlinear TET particularly suitable in practical applications where it is necessary to extract energy from multiple ways of oscillation. Dynamical systems where nonlinear TET occurs are systems with different time scales and are singular. This property allows us to study such systems with the use of singular perturbation theory. It has been shown that Nonlinear TET is related to the bifurcation of the Slow Invariant Manifold of such systems and their slow flow.

Considering trajectory curves, integral of n-dimensional dynamical systems, within the framework of Differential Geometry as curves in Euclidean n-space, it will be established in this article that the curvature of the flow, i.e. the curvature of the trajectory curves of any n-dimensional dynamical system directly provides its slow manifold analytical equation the invariance of which will be then proved according to Darboux theory. Thus, it will be stated that the flow curvature method, which uses neither eigenvectors nor asymptotic expansions but only involves time derivatives of the velocity vector field, constitutes a general method simplifying and improving the slow invariant manifold analytical equation determination of high-dimensional dynamical systems. Moreover, it will be shown that this method generalizes the Tangent Linear System Approximation and encompasses the so-called Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory. Then, slow invariant manifolds analytical equation of paradigmatic Chua's piecewise linear and cubic models of dimensions three, four and five will be provided as tutorial examples exemplifying this method as well as those of high-dimensional dynamical systems.
