We present an analysis of the properties as well as the diverse applications and extensions of the method of stabilisation transformation. This method was originally invented to detect unstable periodic orbits in chaotic dynamical systems. Its working principle is to change the stability characteristics of the periodic orbits by applying an appropriate global transformation of the dynamical system. The theoretical foundations and the associated algorithms for the numerical implementation of the method are discussed. This includes a geometrical classification of the periodic orbits according to their behaviour when the stabilisation transformations are applied. Several refinements concerning the implementation of the method in order to increase the numerical efficiency allow the detection of complete sets of unstable periodic orbits in a large class of dynamical systems. The selective detection of unstable periodic orbits according to certain stability properties and the extension of the method to time series are discussed. Unstable periodic orbits in continuous-time dynamical systems are detected via introduction of appropriate Poincare surfaces of section. Applications are given for a number of examples including the classical Hamiltonian systems of the hydrogen and helium atom, respectively, in electromagnetic fields. The universal potential of the method is demonstrated by extensions to several other nonlinear problems that can be traced back to the detection of fixed
