2nd Edition
by Singiresu S. Rao (Author)
A revised and up-to-date guide to advanced vibration analysis written by a noted expert
The revised and updated second edition of Vibration of Continuous Systems offers
a guide to all aspects of vibration of continuous systems including:
derivation of equations of motion, exact and approximate solutions and
computational aspects. The author―a noted expert in the field―reviews
all possible types of continuous structural members and systems
including strings, shafts, beams, membranes, plates, shells,
three-dimensional bodies, and composite structural members.
Designed
to be a useful aid in the understanding of the vibration of continuous
systems, the book contains exact analytical solutions, approximate
analytical solutions, and numerical solutions. All the methods are
presented in clear and simple terms and the second edition offers a more
detailed explanation of the fundamentals and basic concepts. Vibration of Continuous Systems revised second edition:
- Contains
new chapters on Vibration of three-dimensional solid bodies; Vibration
of composite structures; and Numerical solution using the finite element
method
- Reviews the fundamental concepts in clear and concise language
- Includes newly formatted content that is streamlined for effectiveness
- Offers many new illustrative examples and problems
- Presents answers to selected problems
Written for professors, students of mechanics of vibration courses, and researchers, the revised second edition of Vibration of Continuous Systems
offers an authoritative guide filled with illustrative examples of the
theory, computational details, and applications of vibration of
continuous systems.
