This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to the inerter, its successful application in Formula One racing, and other state-of-the-art applications in vibration control. It presents fundamental analysis results and design methods for inerter-based vibration control systems. Providing comprehensive information on the inerter, a pioneering mechanical element invented by Prof. Malcolm C. Smith at Cambridge University in 2002, it will be of considerable interest to readers with a background in control theory, mechanical vibration or related subjects.
Table of Content
Inerter and passive mechanical system.- Analysis for inerter-based vibration system.- Inerter-based isolation system.- Inerter-based dynamic vibration absorption system.- Semi-active inerter.- Summary.
