Bücher von Andre Preumont

Now in this third updated and expanded edition, this text offers an introduction to the dynamics of active structures and to the feedback control of lightly damped flexible structures, with the emphasis on basic issues and simple control strategies that work.

This book deals with the dynamics of discrete and continuous mechanical systems; seismic excitation; random vibration (including fatigue); rotor dynamics; vibration isolation and dynamic vibration absorbers; the last chapter introduces active vibration control.

Contains a comprehensive treatment of the theory of random vibration of linear structures subjected to stationary or nonstationary excitations. This book is of interest to structural analysts and research engineers dealing with structures in a random environment. It is also useful as a textbook for a graduate course in random vibration.
