The components used to construct buildings or mechanical/process equipment must be reliable and safe. If these components tend to vibrate, then they will experience wear and strain, and safety may well be compromised as a result. Hence vibration analysis is vital during the initial design/testing process and often also when the components are actually being used in situ.
This book explores some of the recent advances in the field of vibrations analysis, including vibration analysis on a nano-scale, investigations of the torsional response of buildings during an earthquake, the use of Bayesian networks for modelling vibrations in power transformers to detect likely areas of mechanical failure, and new trends in design methodologies for vibration control in a range of structures including vehicles, oil platforms and wind turbine systems. The book will also focus on the challenges associated with vibration modelling and analysis for complex mechanical systems and large, multi-component structures such as high-rise buildings.
We believe this book will interest practitioners and researchers across a broad range of disciplines, especially structural and mechanical engineers in the construction, power generation and automotive industries.
