Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous damping in his classic work -The Theory of Sound- in 1877, it has become standard practice to use this approach in dynamics, covering a wide range of applications from aerospace to civil engineering. However, in the majority of practical cases this approach is adopted more for mathematical convenience than for modeling the physics of vibration damping.
Over the past decade, extensive research has been undertaken on more general -non-viscous- damping models and vibration of non-viscously damped systems. This book, along with a related book...

Uncertainty quantification in composite materials and structures has gained immense attention from the research community over the last few decades. This book presents efficient uncertainty quantification schemes following meta-model-based approaches for stochasticity in material and geometric parameters of laminated composite structures. Several meta-models have been studied for this purpose and comparative results are presented for different static and dynamic responses. In addition, results for sensitivity analyses are presented to provide a complete understanding of the relative...
