Structural Dynamics
The proceedings contain contributions presented by authors from more than 30 countries at EURODYN 2002. The proceedings show recent scientific developments as well as practical applications, they cover the fields of theory of vibrations, nonlinear vibrations, stochastic dynamics, vibrations of structured elements, wave propagation and structure-borne sound, including questions of fatigue and damping. Emphasis is laid on vibrations of bridges, buildings, railway structures as well as on the fields of wind and earthquake engineering, repectively. Enriched by a number of keynote lectures and organized sessions the two volumes of the proceedings present an overview of the state of the art of the whole field of structural dynamics and the tendencies ot its further development.
Baustatik - Baupraxis 7
51 papers which succinctly describe the state of the art in the areas: Comptutational models and techniques; Structural dynamics; Innovative construction materials; Damage simulation and Durability. The papers show the application of innovative methods to practical situations. The spectrum of the single papers ranges from experimental and theoretical investigations of structures subject to dynamic loading (wind, earthquake, church bell ringing, explosions), FE analyses of non-linear structural behaviour, innovative design and analysis concepts for reinforced concrete and steel structures and safety assessment methods with explicit damage evaluation to complex building/foundation models, structural glass and textile span investigations for existing historical steel bridges and optimization aspects.
Structural Dynamics
Since vibration is a common problem in many civil engineering structures, it is becoming increasingly important for civil engineers to gain an insight into the principles involved and to know how to use modern, computer-based methods. Designed for engineering students and practitioners alike, this is a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, placing special emphasis on practical issues and applications, illustrated by a wide range of worked examples. The book features a large number of computer programs as ready-to-use applications on a CD-ROM, complete with detailed input/output descriptions and auxiliary software. In the spirit of "learning by doing", readers are encouraged to apply these tools immediately to their specific problems, thus familiarising themselves with the broad field of structural dynamic response in the process.
New Advances in Modal Synthesis of Large Structures: Non-linear Damped and Non-deterministic Cases
The modal analysis of the structures appears to be an essential tool to master their dynamic behaviour. Particularly, the modal synthesis methods combined with the updating technics of the Finite Element models lead to the definition of strategies peculiarly efficient. At present, several developments are being carried out in order to spread these procedures to the latest requirements in structural dynamics: Vibro-acoustic . behaviour; Stochastic approach; Non-linear analysis; Introduction of composite materials. The target of the MV2 International Conference was to take stock of the new methods suggested and to assess their effectiveness. The interest in this book is to gather original works that rely on high-level approaches although these works are clearly intended to industrual applications.
Nonlinear Stochastic Dynamic Engineering Systems
This symposium, held at Innsbruck/lgls on June 21-26, 1987, is the fifth in a series of IUTAM-Symposia on the application of stochastic methods in mechanics. The flrst two meetings in Warwick (1972) and Southhampton (1976) concentrated on the stability of stochastic dynamical systems and stochastic methods in dynamics, respectively. The third meeting in Frankfurt/Oder (1982) added aspects of reliability, while the fourth symposium in Stockholm (1984) dealt mainly with fatigue and fracture problems. The general theme of the present symposium is devoted to nonlinear stochastic dynamics of engineering systems which is believed of great importance for providing the tools for basic development an...
Nonlinear Seismic Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Forty scientists working in 13 different countries detail in this work the most recent advances in seismic design and performance assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. It is a valuable contribution in the mitigation of natural disasters.
Theory of Structures
Das Werk liefert eine einheitliche Darstellung der Baustatik auf der Grundlage der Technischen Mechanik. Es behandelt Stab- und Flächentragwerke nach der Elastizitäts- und Plastizitätstheorie. Es betont den geschichtlichen Hintergrund und den Bezug zur praktischen Ingenieurtätigkeit und dokumentiert erstmals in umfassender Weise die spezielle Schule, die sich in den letzten 50 Jahren an der ETH in Zürich herausgebildet hat. Als Lehrbuch enthält das Werk viele durchgearbeitete Beispiele und Aufgaben zum vertieften Studium. Die einzelnen Kapitel werden durch Zusammenfassungen abgeschlossen, welche die wichtigsten Lehrinhalte in prägnanter Form hervorheben. Die verwendeten Fachausdrücke...
Structural Dynamics with Applications in Earthquake and Wind Engineering
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, highlighting practical issues and illustrating applications with a large number of worked out examples. In the spirit of “learning by doing” it encourages readers to apply immediately these methods by means of the software provided, allowing them to become familiar with the broad field of structural dynamics in the process. The book is primarily focused on practical applications. Earthquake resistant design is presented in a holistic manner, discussing both the underlying geophysical concepts and the latest engineering design methods and illustrated by fully worked out examples based on the newest structural codes. The spectral characteristics of turbulent wind processes and the main analysis methods in the field of structural oscillations due to wind gusts and vortex shedding are also discussed and applications illustrated by realistic examples of slender chimney structures. The user‐friendly software employed is downloadable and can be readily used by readers to tackle their own problems.
Natural Draught Cooling Towers
The world's most experienced scientists and professionals working on cooling towers gathered at the 5th International Symposium on Natural Draught Cooling Towers to discuss the latest developments in this area and exchange knowledge and experiences. This book comprises 43 contributions on the latest developments in the field of natural draught cooling towers, including the cooling process, wind loading, stability & nonlinear behaviour, earthquake resistant design, structural problems, construction developments, design rules, survey and maintenance, rehabilitation and structural damage simulation as well as construction heritage. In addition, a special session is dedicated to the world's highest cooling tower.
