Vibration with Control

<p><b><i>An advanced look at vibration analysis with a focus on active vibration suppression</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p> <p>As modern devices, from cell phones to airplanes, become lighter and more flexible, vibration suppression and analysis becomes more critical. <i>Vibration with Control, 2^nd Edition</i> includes modelling, analysis and testing methods. New topics include metastructures and the use of piezoelectric materials, and numerical methods are also discussed.  All material is placed on a firm mathematical footing by introducing concepts from linear algebra (matrix theory) and applied functional analysis when required.</p> <p>Key features:</p> <ul> <li>Combines vibration modelling and analysis with active control to provide concepts for effective vibration suppression.</li> <li>Introduces the use of piezoelectric materials for vibration sensing and suppression.</li> <li>Provides a unique blend of practical and theoretical developments.</li> <li>Examines nonlinear as well as linear vibration analysis.</li> <li>Provides Matlab instructions for solving problems.</li> <li>Contains examples and problems.</li> <li>PowerPoint Presentation materials and digital solutions manual available for instructors.</li> </ul> <p><i>Vibration with Control, 2nd Edition </i>is an ideal reference and textbook for graduate students in mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering, as well as researchers and practitioners in the field.</p>
