The methods of computational mechanics have been used extensively
in modeling many physical systems. The use of multibody-system
techniques, in particular, has been applied successfully in the
study of various, fundamentally different applications. Railroad
Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach presents a computational
multibody-system approach that can be used to develop complex
models of railroad vehicle systems. The book examines several
computational multibody-system formulations and discusses their
computer implementation. The computational algorithms based on
these general formulations can be used to develop general- and
special-purpose railroad vehicle computer programs for use in the
analysis of railroad vehicle systems, including the study of
derailment and accident scenarios, design issues, and performance
evaluation. The authors focus on the development of fully nonlinear
formulations, supported by an explanation of the limitations of the
linearized formulations that are frequently used in the analysis of
railroad vehicle systems. The chapters of the book are organized to
guide readers from basic concepts and definitions through a final
understanding of the utility of fully nonlinear multibody- system
formulations in the analysis of railroad vehicle systems. Railroad
Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach is a valuable reference
for researchers and practicing engineers who commonly use
general-purpose, multibody-system computer programs in the
analysis, design, and performance evaluation of railroad vehicle
systems.
This fully revised and updated third edition covers the physical
and mathematical fundamentals of vibration analysis, including
single degree of freedom, multi-degree of freedom, and continuous
systems. A new chapter on special topics that include motion
control, impact dynamics, and nonlinear dynamics is added to the
new edition. In a simple and systematic manner, the book presents
techniques that can easily be applied to the analysis of vibration
of mechanical and structural systems. Suitable for a one-semester
course on vibrations, the book presents the new concepts in simple
terms and explains procedures for solving problems in considerable
detail. It contains numerous exercises, examples and end-of-chapter
problems.
This book presents the nonlinear theory of continuum mechanics and
demonstrates its use in developing nonlinear computer formulations
for large displacement dynamic analysis. Basic concepts used in
continuum mechanics are presented and used to develop nonlinear
general finite element formulations that can be effectively used in
large displacement analysis. The book considers two nonlinear
finite element dynamic formulations: a general large deformation
finite element formulation and a formulation that can efficiently
solve small deformation problems that characterize very stiff
structures. The book presents material clearly and systematically,
assuming the reader has only basic knowledge in matrix and vector
algebra and dynamics. The book is designed for use by advanced
undergraduates and first-year graduate students. It is also a
reference for researchers, practising engineers, and scientists
working in computational mechanics, bio-mechanics, computational
biology, multibody system dynamics, and other fields of science and
engineering using the general continuum mechanics theory.
