About this book
This book covers the basic principles of nonlinear vibrations which occur in flexible and/or adaptive structures, with an emphasis on engineering analysis and relevant control techniques.
Understanding nonlinear vibrations is becoming increasingly important in a range of engineering applications. This is particularly true in the design of flexible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, and sports stadia. There is an increasing trend towards lighter structures, with increased slenderness, often made of new composite materials and requiring some form of deployment and/or active vibration control. There are also applications in the areas of robotics, mechatronics, micro electrical mechanical systems, non-destructive testing and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring.
Two broader themes cut across these application areas: (i) vibration
suppression -- or active damping -- and, (ii) adaptive structures and
machines. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive discussion
of nonlinear multi-modal structural vibration problems, and then to show
how vibration suppression can be applied to such systems by considering a
sample set of relevant control techniques. The rationale is to produce a
volume which is accessible to practitioners in the application areas, as
well as students and researchers working on related topics. In particular, the aim is to introduce the key concepts of nonlinear vibration to readers
who have an understanding of linear vibration and/or linear control, but
no specialist knowledge in nonlinear dynamics or nonlinear control.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is organized into eight chapters, and a brief index. Every chapter ends with a section reviewing the topic and a list of references. … There are problems for the students at the ends of chapters … . bring out the importance and many interesting phenomena in nonlinear vibration of plates and shells. … the materials covered in this book are about right for a graduate course under the same title.” (C. W. S. To and S. K. Lau, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 58 (4), July-August, 2010)
“This book provides a well-rounded summary of nonlinear vibration theoretical and practical aspects, with a comprehensive treatment of multi-modal structural vibration problems and control techniques for such systems. … With a very good mixture of theory and practical examples, the authors are able to present very technical material without losing the interest of the reader. This book is intended for postgraduate students and researchers possessing basic knowledge in linear vibration … . a book that belongs in the library of anyone involved on related topics.” (Silviu Nastac, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 16 (1), 2011)
