Opis

The dynamics of dissipative mechanical and structural systems is being investigated at various institutions and laboratories worldwide with ever-increasing sophistication of modelling, analysis and experiments. This book offers a collection of contributions from these research centres that represent the state-of-the-art in the study of friction oscillators. It provides the reader with the fruits of a team effort by leaders in this fascinating field. The present part 2 of this volume on dynamics with friction is a continuation of the previous part 1, and is designed to help synthesize our current knowledge regarding the role of friction in mechanical and structural systems as well as everyday life. The topics covered include interaction of vibration and friction at dry sliding contacts, friction-induced instability in disks, dynamics of lubricated flexible links in kinematic chains, modal interactions in periodic structures, dynamics of an experimentally excited beam, transient waves in viscoelastic materials, dynamic stability of plates with damping, friction modelling and dynamic computation, damping through use of passive and semi-active dry friction forces. This book gives a comprehensive picture of dynamics of dissipative mechanical and structural systems. It also gives an up-to-date account of the present state of the field. It should be of interest to engineers, rheologists, material scientists, applied mathematicians, physicists and historians of science and technology.
