Synopsis

This excellent book aims to provide a first course on vibrations of continuous system. The book starts with simple one-dimensional continuous systems which are easily understood and prepare the ground for more complex analysis in later chapters. Equations of motion for all systems considered are derived using both the Newtonian and variational approaches. The chapters take the reader from very simple results to more complex analysis without skipping the key steps in the derivations. This makes the book suitable for a course at the senior undergraduate level to an advanced course at graduate level.

*Presents dynamics and analysis techniques for a large class of continuous mechanical systems, in one, two, and three dimensions in one complete volume

*Develops an excellent understanding of the theory of continuous systems starting from the fundamentals through to more complex analysis

*Contains state-of-the-art research topics for graduates and researchers

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The subject of vibrations is of fundamental importance in engineering and technology. Discrete modelling is sufficient to understand the dynamics of many vibrating systems; however a large number of vibration phenomena are far more easily understood when modelled as continuous systems. The theory of vibrations in continuous systems is crucial to the understanding of engineering problems in areas as diverse as automotive brakes, overhead transmission lines, liquid filled tanks, ultrasonic testing or room acoustics.

Starting from an elementary level, Vibrations and Waves in Continuous Mechanical Systems helps develop a comprehensive understanding of the theory of these systems and the tools with which to analyse them, before progressing to more advanced topics.

*Presents dynamics and analysis techniques for a wide range of continuous systems including strings, bars, beams, membranes, plates, fluids and elastic bodies in one, two and three dimensions.

*Covers special topics such as the interaction of discrete and continuous systems, vibrations in translating media, and sound emission from vibrating surfaces, among others.

*Develops the reader's understanding by progressing from very simple results to more complex analysis without skipping the key steps in the derivations.

*Offers a number of new topics and exercises that form essential steppingstones to the present level of research in the field.

*Includes exercises at the end of the chapters based on both the academic and practical experience of the authors.

Vibrations and Waves in Continuous Mechanical Systems provides a first course on the vibrations of continuous systems that will be suitable for students of continuous system dynamics, at senior undergraduate and graduate levels, in mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering. It will also appeal to researchers developing theory and analysis within the field.
