Vibration

Most popular at the top

  • Thin Plates and Shellsby Eduard Ventsel; Theodor Krauthammer

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2001; US$ 199.95

    This work presents principles of thin plate and shell theories - emphasizing novel analytical and numerical methods of solving linear and nonlinear plate and shell dilemmas, and new theories for the design and analysis of thin plate-shell structures. more...

  • Linear Elastic Wavesby John G. Harris; D. G. Crighton

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 42.00

    Wave propagation and scattering are often very complex processes. One way to begin to understand them is to study wave propagation in the linear approximation. This is a book describing such propagation using, as a context, the equations of elasticity. Linear Elastic Waves is an advanced level textbook directed at applied mathematicians, seismologists, and engineers. more...

  • Multi-scale Modelling for Structures and Compositesby G. Panasenko

    Springer 2005; US$ 149.00

    Rod structures are widely used in modern engineering. These are bars, beams, frames and trusses of structures, gridwork, network, framework and other constructions. Numerous applications of rod structures in civil engineering, aircraft and spacecraft confirm the importance of the topic. On the other hand the majority of books on structural mechanics use some simplifying hypotheses; these hypotheses do not allow to consider some important effects, for instance the boundary layer effects near the points of junction of rods. So the question concerning the limits of applicability of structural mechanics hypotheses and the possibilities of their refinement arise. In this connection the asymptotic analysis of equations of mathematical physics, the... more...

  • Vibration in Continuous Mediaby Jean-Louis Guyader

    ISTE 2006; US$ 129.00

    This book is concerned with vibration in continuous elastic solid media and discusses both the physical phenomena and prediction methods. In addition, it offers a synthesis of reference results on vibration in beams and plates. Three aspects are developed in this book: modeling, a description of the phenomena and computation methods. A particular effort has been made to provide a clear understanding of the limits associated with each modeling approach. Examples of applications are used throughout the book to provide a better understanding of the material presented. more...

  • Wave Propagation, Observation and Control in 1-d Flexible Multi-Structuresby René Dáger; Enrique Zuazua

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 69.95

    Presents a detailed study of partial differential equations on planar graphs modeling networked flexible mechanical structures. Designed as a self-contained introductory course on control and observation of networks, this volume contains advanced topics and techniques which may be of interest for researchers in this area. more...

  • Spectral Finite Element Methodby Gopalakrishnan Srinivasan; Debiprosad Roy Mahapatra; Abir Chakraborty

    Springer 2007; US$ 169.00

    The use of composites and functionally graded materials (FGMs) in structural applications has increased. This book applies the Spectral Finite Element Method (SFEM) to inhomogeneous and anisotropic structures in a unified and systematic manner. It is aimed at senior undergraduates and postgraduates studying in this field. more...

  • Waves in Nonlinear Pre-stressed Materialsby M. Destrade; Giuseppe Saccomandi

    Springer 2007; US$ 139.00

    The papers in this book provide a unique state-of-the-art multidisciplinary overview on the subject of waves in pre-stressed materials through the interaction of several topics, ranging from the mathematical modelling of incremental material response (elastic and inelastic), to the analysis of the governing differential equations and boundary-value problems, and to computational methods for the solution to these problems, with particular reference to industrial, geophysical, and biomechanical applications. A complete view on the title subject is proposed, including: The basic and fundamental theoretical issues (mechanical modelling, exact solutions, asymptotic methods, numerical treatment); A unified introduction to wave propagation (small... more...

  • Wave Propagationby Peter Markos; Costas M. Soukoulis

    Princeton University Press 2008; US$ 82.50

    This textbook offers the first unified treatment of wave propagation in electronic and electromagnetic systems and introduces readers to the essentials of the transfer matrix method, a powerful analytical tool that can be used to model and study an array of problems pertaining to wave propagation in electrons and photons. It is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, materials science, electrical and computer engineering, and mathematics, and is ideal for researchers in photonic crystals, negative index materials, left-handed materials, plasmonics, nonlinear effects, and optics. Peter Markos and Costas Soukoulis begin by establishing the analogy between wave propagation in electronic systems and electromagnetic... more...

  • Anisotropic Elastic Platesby Chyanbin Hwu

    Springer 2010; US$ 179.00

    As structural elements, anisotropic elastic plates find wide applications in modern technology. The plates here are considered to be subjected to not only in plane load but also transverse load. In other words, both plane and plate bending problems as well as the stretching-bending coupling problems are all explained in this book. In addition to the introduction of the theory of anisotropic elasticity, several important subjects have are discussed in this book such as interfaces, cracks, holes, inclusions, contact problems, piezoelectric materials, thermoelastic problems and boundary element analysis. more...

  • Singular Problems in Shell Theoryby Evariste Sanchez-Palencia; Olivier Millet; Fabien Bechet

    Springer 2010; US$ 129.00

    This book deals with various aspects in relation with thin shell theory: general geometric formalism of shell theory, analysis of singularities, numerical computing of thin shell problems, mathematical considerations on boundary values problems which enable to understand the sensitive problems encountered. Therefore, the lecture of this book may not be continuous and the reader who wants to improve his knowledge in a specific area may refer directly to the chapters concerned with. more...
