Structural Dynamics in Practice: A Guide for Professional Engineers

Product Description

Concerned with the practical and experimental rather than the theoretical and mathematical aspects of vibration. Provides basic information on resonance, dynamic forces from machinery and fluid flow, and human response to vibration. Covers the calculation of natural frequencies of continuous and triangulated structures, calculation of elastic critical loads, axial force, and excitation by fluid forces. Demonstrates how to use the calculations to design suitable structures for dynamic loads. An appendix summarizes the mathematics used to justify the assumptions made.
