Description
This volume covers the computational dynamics of linear and non-linear engineering systems subject to conservative as well as non-conservative
loads. Available in both paperback and hardback, the volume proposes an as simple as possible numerical evaluation of dynamic phenomena.
[p]
Practically all known methods of linear spectral analysis like the Householder, Givens, Wiland, Lanczos, Jacobi, Guyan, Eberlein,
etc., are clearly detailed with a critical appraisal of their advantages and disadvantages. A great number of flow diagrams and examples
are given in order to facilitate the understanding and practical application. A technically experienced reader will no doubt appreciate
the interpretative difficulties of a subject like random or stochastic vibration expounded in a special chapter. Non-model damping is
also detailed and the highly topical direct integration methods of the equations of dynamic equilibrium receive a very broad description.
[p]
Finally non-linear oscillations are analysed mostly from the computational point of view. Here the Newmark and the Hermitean algorithms
receive very detailed accounts and a critical appraisal. At the same time the subject of non-linear oscillations is introduced through
a semi-analytical discussion of the Duffing equation in which the various attractor systems in phase space including strange attractors
for chaotic manifestation are described.
[p]
This volume is the first to appear in this series of self-contained textbooks designed to
present a modern, comprehensive account of computational mechanics, which will appeal to both student and experienced practitioner alike.
