Nonlinear Vibration with Control (eBook, PDF)

For Flexible and Adaptive Structures

Beschreibung

Identifying, modelling and controlling nonlinear vibrations is becoming incre- ingly important in a range of engineering applications. This is particularly true in the design of ?exible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, sports stadia and other tall/slender structures. There are also applications in the areas of robotics, mechatronics,micro-electro-mechanicalsystems(MEMS),andnon-destructivete- ing (NDT) and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring (SHM). In the majority of cases, the trend is towards lighter structures, increased ?exib- ity and other higher levels of performance requirements. It is increasingly common for structuresto have integratedactuator andsensor networks to carry out tasks such as limiting unwanted vibrations, detecting damage and in some cases changing the shape of the structure. These types of structures have become knownas smart str- tures (sometimes called adaptive or intelligent structures). They are often made of new compositematerials and their ability to performmultiple tasks means that these types of smart structures are multifunctional. Nonlinearbehaviourin structuraldynamics arises naturallyfrom a rangeof c- mon material and geometric nonlinearities. By their nature, these structures are t- ically made up of highly ?exible continuous elements such as beams, cables and plates. They are also required to operate in a dynamic environment and, as a result, understanding the vibration behaviour of the structures is critically important.

Rezensionen

"The text reads like a guided logical inquiry into the field of nonlinear control, drawing upon the student's understanding of linear vibration theory with good and relatable examples of the demising boundaries between the two. ... Wagg and Neild's Nonlinear Vibration with Control is an easy study for the student and a valuable reference for the engineer." (Jon W. Mooney, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 63 (3), May-June, 2015)

"This book covers nonlinear vibrations of elastics structures, beams, plates, shells and cables. It provides relevant control techniques for elastic and adaptive structures. ... the present book is a good source of material for a graduate course in this area. It may also serve a useful reference for researchers working in control theory of nonlinear vibrations." (Fiazud Din Zaman, zbMATH 1315.74002, 2015)
