E-grāmata: Isospectral Vibrating Systems

This book presents isospectral approach for several important mechanical vibrating systems. Discrete and continuous isospectral systems are discussed using a simple multi-degree of freedom spring-mass system, axially loaded Euler-Bernoulli beams, isospectral rotating beams and their non-rotating analogs including Rayleigh and Timoshenko beams.

This book presents an isospectral approach for several important mechanical vibrating systems. Discrete and continuous isospectral systems are discussed using a simple multi-degree of freedom spring-mass system followed by illustration of isospectral beams and their solution through evolutionary computing. Next, it addresses axially loaded Euler-Bernoulli beams and aims to find isospectral counterparts of these systems. The practical application of these isospectral systems for vibration testing and for finding new closed form solutions is discussed. A considerable part of the book is devoted to isospectral rotating beams and their non-rotating analogs including Rayleigh beams. Aimed at researchers and graduate students in mechanical; aerospace; civil; automotive; ocean engineering especially mechanical vibrations, this monograph:
