The subject of vibrations is of fundamental importance in
engineering and technology. Discrete modelling is sufficient to
understand the dynamics of many vibrating systems; however a large
number of vibration phenomena are far more easily understood when
modelled as continuous systems. The theory of vibrations in
continuous systems is crucial to the understanding of engineering
problems in areas as diverse as automotive brakes, overhead
transmission lines, liquid filled tanks, ultrasonic testing or room
acoustics.
Starting from an elementary level, "Vibrations and Waves in
Continuous Mechanical Systems" helps develop a comprehensive
understanding of the theory of these systems and the tools with
which to analyse them, before progressing to more advanced
topics.
Presents dynamics and analysis techniques for a wide range of
continuous systems including strings, bars, beams, membranes,
plates, fluids and elastic bodies in one, two and three
dimensions.Covers special topics such as the interaction of
discrete and continuous systems, vibrations in translating media,
and sound emission from vibrating surfaces, among others. Develops
the reader's understanding by progressing from very simple results
to more complex analysis without skipping the key steps in the
derivations.Offers a number of new topics and exercises that form
essential steppingstones to the present level of research in the
field.Includes exercises at the end of the chapters based on both
the academic and practical experience of the authors.
"Vibrations and Waves in Continuous Mechanical Systems" provides
a first course on the vibrations of continuous systems that will be
suitable for students of continuous system dynamics, at senior
undergraduate and graduate levels, in mechanical, civil and
aerospace engineering. It will also appeal to researchers
developing theory and analysis within the field.
