Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis, Control and Applications presents a wave analysis approach to the control of vibration in structures, as opposed to the modal-based approach. The wave-based approach has a distinct advantage over the modal-based approach in the control of vibration in highly flexible structures and will therefore help to better prepare future engineers for solving practical vibration problems. Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis, Control and Applications begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts including wave versus modal vibration description, before...
