The first half of the book (Ch.1-6) deals with the dynamics of discrete and continuous mechanical systems; the classical approach emphasizes the use of Lagrange's equations. The second half of the book (Ch.7-12) deals with more advanced topics, rarely encountered in the existing literature: seismic excitation, random vibration (including fatigue), rotor dynamics, vibration isolation and dynamic vibration absorbers; the final chapter is an introduction to active control of vibrations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of this text may be used as a one semester course for 3rd year students in Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering. The second part of the text is intended for graduate classes. A set of problems is provided at the end of every chapter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has a 35 years experience in various aspects of Structural dynamics, both in industry (nuclear and aerospace) and in academia; he was one of the pioneers in the field of active structures. He is the author of several books on random vibration, active structures and structural control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Single degree-of-freedom linear oscillator\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Multiple degree-of-freedom systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Lagrangian dynamics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Continuous systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Rayleigh-Ritz method\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Finite elements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Seismic excitation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8 Random vibration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 Peak factor \u0026amp; random fatigue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 Rotor dynamics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 Vibration alleviation|\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 Introduction to active vibration control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091874443607,"sku":"9789400763821","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/twelve-lectures-on-structural-dynamics-9789400763821","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
