Mechanical vibrations and structural dynamics: analytical, numerical and experimental methods

This basic textbook presents the field of mechanical vibration and structuraldynamics in an understandable and interdisciplinary way for students, engineers and researchers in mechanical engineering. 'Mechanical Vibrations and Structural Dynamics' combines the classical analytical approach together with modern numerical and computer aided experimental methods. On the one hand it gives a clear and concise interdisciplinary introduction into the theory of mechanical vibrations and structural dynamics. And on the other hand it shows how to convert these introductory examples into a computer program and how to establish a complex software system - explaining computational engineering and experimental methods. Theory is not overemphasized however enough knowledge is displayed to be able to solve application problems with intelligence. Basic Textbookcomprising Theory, Numerics and Experiments of Mechanical Vibrations and Structural Dynamics. Based on the well established German textbook by the same authors, this is a completely reworked edition, that includes Mechatronics, Subspace- methods, and new numerical exercises based on the public domain program SCILAB (MATLAB substitute) supplied on an additional proposed CD. INDICE: Introduction.- Discrete Oscillators.- Uncoupled Oscillators.- Kinematics of Oscillations.- Numerical Simulation of Dynamical Problems.- Coupled Oscillators.- Fourier or Spectral- Analysis.- Continuous Oscillators and Numerical Treatment.- Experimental Methods of Analyis of Oscillations.- Estimation and Identification of Parameters- Experimental Analysis.- The Subspace Method.- Mechatronics.- Control of Structures.- Random Vibrations.- Special Problems.- Applications, References.
