This book presents new topics such as Inerters in spring-mass models and attached to beams; fluid loading on beams, plates, and shells; bio-inspired vibration isolation and absorption; coupled bending and torsion of beams; beams with functionally graded materials; as well as a new chapter on the Mindlin/Timoshenko plate theory: rectangular and circular. New applications and enhancements to the previous edition include moving mass on beams; thin beams with attached pendulum; transient response of beams with in-span attachments; and shells to model blood flow in arteries.

This book systematically investigates the vibration and enhanced heat transfer of elastic tube bundles in heat exchangers. Using numerical calculation methods, it explores the working principles, optimization design, and performance enhancement of elastic tube bundle heat exchangers. The book presents research findings with clear illustrations and detailed analysis, allowing readers to gain a deep understanding and practical application of the subject. Whether from an academic research or engineering practice perspective, this book serves as a valuable reference and guide. It provides...

Dr Theodore Nicholas ran the High Cycle Fatigue Program for the US Air Force between 1995 and 2003 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and is one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, having authored over 250 papers in leading archival journals and books.

Bringing his plethora of expertise to this book, Dr Nicholas discusses the subject of high cycle fatigue (HCF) from an engineering viewpoint in response to a series of HCF failures in the USAF and the concurrent realization that HCF failures in general were taking place universally in both civilian and military...

The first edition of Sound and Structural Vibration was written in the early 1980s. Since then, two major developments have taken place in the field of vibroacoustics. Powerful computational methods and procedures for the numerical analysis of structural vibration, acoustical fields and acoustical interactions between fluids and structures have been developed and these are now universally employed by researchers, consultants and industrial organisations. Advances in signal processing systems and algorithms, in transducers, and in structural materials and forms of construction, have...

Separation of the elements of classical mechanics into kinematics and dynamics is an uncommon tutorial approach, but the author uses it to advantage in this two-volume set. Students gain a mastery of kinematics first a solid foundation for the later study of the free-body formulation of the dynamics problem.

A key objective of these volumes, which present a vector treatment of the principles of mechanics, is to help the student gain confidence in transforming problems into appropriate mathematical language that may be manipulated to give useful physical conclusions or...
