This volume covers the computational dynamics of linear and
non-linear engineering systems subject to conservative as well as
non-conservative loads. Available in both paperback and hardback,
the volume proposes an as simple as possible numerical evaluation
of dynamic phenomena.
p]
Practically all known methods of linear spectral analysis like the
Householder, Givens, Wiland, Lanczos, Jacobi, Guyan, Eberlein,
etc., are clearly detailed with a critical appraisal of their
advantages and disadvantages. A great number of flow diagrams and
examples are given in order to facilitate the understanding and
practical application. A technically experienced reader will no
doubt appreciate the interpretative difficulties of a subject like
random or stochastic vibration expounded in a special chapter.
Non-model damping is also detailed and the highly topical direct
integration methods of the equations of dynamic equilibrium receive
a very broad description.
p]
Finally non-linear oscillations are analysed mostly from the
computational point of view. Here the Newmark and the Hermitean
algorithms receive very detailed accounts and a critical appraisal.
At the same time the subject of non-linear oscillations is
introduced through a semi-analytical discussion of the Duffing
equation in which the various attractor systems in phase space
including strange attractors for chaotic manifestation are
described.
p]
This volume is the first to appear in this series of self-contained
textbooks designed to present a modern, comprehensive account of
computational mechanics, which will appeal to both student and
experienced practitioner alike.
