Springer International Publishing AG Nonlinear Vibration Reduction: An
Book SynopsisThe tuned mass damper is one of the classic dynamic vibration absorbers with effective devices for energy dissipation and vibration reduction. The electromagnetically tuned mass damper system is extensively used for vibration reduction in engineering. A better understanding of the nonlinear dynamics of the electromagnetically tuned mass damper system is very important to optimize the parameters of such systems for vibration reduction. However, until now, one cannot fully understand complex periodic motions in such a nonlinear, electromagnetically tuned mass damper system. In this book, the semi-analytical solutions of periodic motions are presented through period-1, period-3, period-9, and period-12 motions. The corresponding stability and bifurcations of periodic motions are determined. The frequency-amplitude characteristics for bifurcation routes of such higher-order periodic motions are presented. This book helps people better understand the dynamical behaviors of an electromagnetically tuned mass damper system for the new development and design of vibration reduction and energy harvesting systems.Table of ContentsPreface.Introduction.Chapter 1 - Semi-Analytical Method.Chapter 2 - Discretization.

Springer International Publishing AG Introduction to Elastic Wave Propagation
Book SynopsisThis revised and updated edition expands on its explanations of methods used to analyze waves in solid materials, such as the waves created by earthquakes and the ultrasonic waves used to detect flaws in materials and for medical diagnoses. In addition to the traditional methods used to analyze steady-state and transient waves in elastic materials, the book contains introductions to advanced areas that no other single text covers. These topics include the use of finite elements to solve wave problems, the Cagniard-de Hoop method, the four-pole technique for analyzing waves in layered media, and the growth and decay of shock and acceleration waves. The authors explain the theory of linear elasticity through the displacement equations of motion, methods used to analyze steady-state and transient waves in layered media, and include an appendix on functions of a complex variable. Originally developed for a graduate course for which no suitable text existed, the new edition retains its classroom-tested treatment of the theories of linear elasticity and complex variables for students needing background in those subjects.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Discrete-time Sliding Mode Control: A Multirate Output Feedback Approach
Book SynopsisSliding mode control is a simple and yet robust control technique, where the system states are made to confine to a selected subset. With the increasing use of computers and discrete-time samplers in controller implementation in the recent past, discrete-time systems and computer based control have become important topics. This monograph presents an output feedback sliding mode control philosophy which can be applied to almost all controllable and observable systems, while at the same time being simple enough as not to tax the computer too much. It is shown that the solution can be found in the synergy of the multirate output sampling concept and the concept of discrete-time sliding mode control.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Switching Function bases Multirate Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control.- Multirate Output Feedback based Discrete-time Sliding Mode in LTI systems with Uncertainty.- Multirate Output Feedback based Discrete-time Quasi-Sliding Mode Control of Time-Delay Systems.- Multirate Output Feedback Sliding Mode for Special Classes of Systems.- Discrete-time Terminal Sliding Mode: Concept.- Applications of Multirate Output Feedback Discrete-time Sliding Mode Control.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Towards a Unified Fatigue Life Prediction Method
Book SynopsisIn order to apply the damage tolerance design philosophy to design marine structures, accurate prediction of fatigue crack growth under service conditions is required. Now, more and more people have realized that only a fatigue life prediction method based on fatigue crack propagation (FCP) theory has the potential to explain various fatigue phenomena observed. In this book, the issues leading towards the development of a unified fatigue life prediction (UFLP) method based on FCP theory are addressed. Based on the philosophy of the UFLP method, the current inconsistency between fatigue design and inspection of marine structures could be resolved.This book presents the state-of-the-art and recent advances, including those by the authors, in fatigue studies. It is designed to lead the future directions and to provide a useful tool in many practical applications. It is intended to address to engineers, naval architects, research staff, professionals and graduates engaged in fatigue prevention design and survey of marine structures, in fatigue studies of materials and structures, in experimental laboratory research, in planning the repair and maintenance of existing structures, and in rule development. The book is also an effective educational aid in naval architecture, marine, civil and mechanical engineering.Prof. Weicheng Cui is the Dean of Hadal Science and Technology Research Center of Shanghai Ocean University, China.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Vehicle–Track Coupled Dynamics: Theory and
Book SynopsisThis book systematically presents the theory, numerical implementation, field experiments and practical engineering applications of the ‘Vehicle–Track Coupled Dynamics’. Representing a radical departure from classic vehicle system dynamics and track dynamics, the vehicle–track coupled dynamics theory considers the vehicle and track as one interactive and integrated system coupled through wheel–rail interaction. This new theory enables a more comprehensive and accurate solution to the train–track dynamic interaction problem which is a fundamental and important research topic in railway transportation system, especially for the rapidly developed high-speed and heavy-haul railways. It has been widely applied in practical railway engineering.Dr. Wanming Zhai is a Chair Professor of Railway Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, where he is also chairman of the Academic Committee and Director of the Train and Track Research Institute. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the leading scientists in railway system dynamics. Professor Zhai is Editor-in-Chief of both the International Journal of Rail Transportation, published by Taylor & Francis Group, and the Journal of Modern Transportation, published by Springer. In addition, he is a trustee of the International Association for Vehicle System Dynamics, Vice President of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and Vice President of the Chinese Society for Vibration Engineering.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Models of Vehicle-Track Coupled Dynamics.- Excitations of Vehicle-Track Coupled Systems.- Numerical Method and Computer Simulation.- Field Experiment on Dynamics of Vehicle and Track Systems.- Experimental Validation of Vehicle-Track Coupled Dynamics Models.- Comparison of Vehicle-Track Coupled Dynamics with Traditional Vehicle Dynamics.- Dynamic Characteristic of Vehicle-Track Coupled Systems.- Principle and Method for Matching Design of Vehicle and Track Systems.- Applications of Vehicle-Track Coupled Dynamics Theory in Practical Railway Engineering.
