Introduction to Vibration in Engineering is a concise text that helps students master the fundamentals of vibration. Students develop a solid understanding of single-degree-of-freedom systems that can be used as building blocks to tackle more difficult and general multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The text also introduces the Lagrange equation approach, which can be used to construct equations of motion for complex systems. Dedicated chapters cover the dynamic responses of single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, dynamic stability, vibration absorbers, vibration of slender bodies, modal identification, finite element modeling, and more. Each chapter features problem sets ...
Leading experts provide a timely overview of the key developments in the physics, chemistry and uses of magnetorheological fluids.
This book focuses on smart materials and structures, which are also referred to as intelligent, adaptive, active, sensory, and metamorphic. The ultimate goal is to develop biologically inspired multifunctional materials with the capability to adapt their structural characteristics, monitor their health condition, perform self-diagnosis and self-repair, morph their shape, and undergo significant controlled motion.
Traditionally, engineering education books describe and reinforce unchanging principles that are basic to the field. However, the dramatic changes in the engineering environment during the last decade demand a paradigm shift from the engineering education community. This revolutionary volume addresses the development of long-term strategies for an engineering education system that will reflect the needs and realities of the United States and the world in the 21st century. The authors discuss the critical challenges facing U.S. engineering education and present a plan addressing these challenges in the context of rapidly changing circumstances, technologies, and demands.
This volume provides useful tools in Lie group analysis to solve nonlinear partial differential equations. Many of important issues in nonlinear wave dynamics and nonlinear fluid mechanics are presented: Homotopy techniques are used to obtain analytical solutions; fundamental problems and theories in classic and quantum dynamical systems are discussed; and numerous interesting results about dynamics and vibration in sensor and smart systems are presented. Interval computation and nonlinear modeling in dynamics and control are also briefly included.
