This text, which is intended to follow the author's Theory of Vibration: An Introduction, aims to further the understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the theory of vibration and its applications, here focusing on discrete and continuous systems. As in the previous volume, the text develops the techniques used to analyze vibrations in ...
Dynamics of Multibody Systems introduces multibody dynamics, with an emphasis on flexible body dynamics. Many common mechanisms such as automobiles, space structures, robots, and micro machines have mechanical and structural systems that consist of interconnected rigid and deformable components. The dynamics of these large-scale, multibody systems ...
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 ...
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 ...
A practical approach to the computational methods used to solve real-world dynamics problems. Computational dynamics has grown rapidly in recent years with the advent of high-speed digital computers and the need to develop simulation and analysis computational capabilities for mechanical and aerospace systems that consist of interconnected bodies. ...
This text aims to impart a sound understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the fundamental theory of vibration and its applications. The book presents in a simple and systematic manner techniques that can easily be applied to the analysis of vibration of mechanical and structural systems. The approach is general, based on the conservation ...
