Mechanical Vibrations: Theory and Application to Structural
Dynamics, Third Edition is a comprehensively updated new
edition of the popular textbook. It presents the theory of
vibrations in the context of structural analysis and covers
applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Key features include:
* A systematic approach to dynamic reduction and substructuring,
based on duality between mechanical and admittance concepts
* An introduction to experimental modal analysis and
identification methods
* An improved, more physical presentation of wave propagation
phenomena
* A comprehensive presentation of current practice for solving
large eigenproblems, focusing on the efficient linear solution of
large, sparse and possibly singular systems
* A deeply revised description of time integration schemes,
providing framework for the rigorous accuracy/stability analysis of
now widely used algorithms such as HHT and Generalized-alpha
* Solved exercises and end of chapter homework problems
* A companion website hosting supplementary material
Об авторе
Michel Géradin holds an Engineering Degree in
Physics and a Ph D from ULg (University of Liège, Belgium).
Successively he has been a research fellow from the Belgian
FNRS (1968-1979), Professor of Structural Dynamics at
ULg (1979-2010) and Unit Head of the European Laboratory for
Structural Assessment (ELSA) of the JRC (European Commission
Ispra, Italy) (1997-2010). He has also been a Visiting
Scholar at Stanford University (1973-1974) and Visiting Professor
at the University of Colorado (1986-1987).
He developed research activity in finite element methodology,
computational methods in structural dynamics and multibody
dynamics. He has been a co-author of the finite element software
SAMCEF and co-founding member of Samtech SA in
1986.
He is Doctor Honoris Causa at the Technical University of Lisbon
(1996) and École Centrale de Nantes (2007), and an
Associate Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium
(2000).
He is the co-author of Flexible Multibody Dynamics. A Finite
Element Approach (Wiley, 2000).
Daniel Rixen holds an MSc in Aerospace Vehicle Design
from the College of Aeronautics in Cranfield (UK) and received his
Mechanical Engineering and Doctorate degree from the University of
Liège (Belgium) supported by the Belgium National Research
Fund. After having spent two years as researcher at the Center for
Aerospace Structures (University of Colorado, Boulder) between 2000
and 2012 he chaired the Engineering Dynamic group at the Delft
University of Technology (The Netherlands). Since 2012 he heads the
Institute for Applied Mechanics at the Technische Universität
München (Germany). Next to teaching, his passion comprises
research on numerical and simulation methods as well as
experimental techniques, involving structural and multiphysical
applications in e.g. aerospace, automotive, mechatronics,
biodynamics and wind energy. A recurring aspect in his
investigation is the interaction between system components such as
in domain decomposition for parallel computing or component
synthesis in dynamic model reduction and in experimental
substructuring.
