This book is concerned with electrostructural systems, particularly the interaction between the control of the structural and electrical (electronic) components. Structronics is a new emerging area with many potential applications in the design of high-performance structures, adaptive structures, high-precision systems, and micro-systems. As structures are increasingly being controlled by electronics, the problems of structural engineering can be separated less and less from those of electronic engineering and control engineering. This graduate-level book fills a gap in the literature by...

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...

The functionality of modern structural, mechanical and electrical or electronic systems depends on their ability to perform under certain conditions. Consideration of uncertainties and their effect on system behaviour is an essential and integral part of defining systems. In 11 chapters, leading experts present an overview of the current state of uncertainty modelling, analysis and design of large systems in four major areas: finite and boundary element methods (common structural analysis techniques), fatigue, stability analysis, and fault-tolerant systems. It describes research developments...

"What is not debatable is the 'Uncertainty Modeling in Vibration, Control, and Fuzzy Analysis of Structural Systems', makes an important contribution to our understanding of how both probability-based and fuzzy-logic-based methods for modeling of uncertainty can be applied in the realm of vibration, control, structural analysis and related problem areas. The editors and contributors to information volume deserve our thanks and congratulations for producing a work, which is highly informative, authorative, up-to-date and reader-friendly." Prof. Lotfi A Zadeh University of California,...

An exploration of the dynamics of mechanical systems in the presence of impact and friction. The contributors are an international group of engineers and scientists from industrial and academic institutions from more than 23 countries around the world concerned with the modelling, analysis, measurement and control of nonsmooth mechanical structures. Contact laws lead to mathematical models that are highly nonlinear and nonsmooth or discontinuous. Discontinuous and nonsmooth processes introduce problems with data processing techniques and analytical methods. Thanks to great advances in...
