Vibration Damping, Control, and Design

TRAMA

Comprising chapters from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, this book presents a single, concise, and convenient reference to the techniques, tools, and data necessary to monitor, reduce, control, and prevent mechanical vibrations, noise, and acoustics. Passive and active control methods are presented for suppressing undesirable vibrations while enhancing desirable types of vibration. Expert contributors discuss the fundamentals and techniques of vibration damping, design for reduced vibration, various methods for controlling vibrations or isolating vibration-prone structures, the psychological and physiological effects of noise, noise suppression, and statistical energy analysis.

NOTE EDITORE

Reducing and controlling the level of vibration in a mechanical system leads to an improved work environment and product quality, reduced noise, more economical operation, and longer equipment life. Adequate design is essential for reducing vibrations, while damping and control methods help further reduce and manipulate vibrations when design strategies reach their limits. There are also useful types of vibration, which may require enhancement or control. Vibration Damping, Control, and Design balances theoretical and application-oriented coverage to enable optimal vibration and noise suppression and control in nearly any system.Drawn from the immensely popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, each expertly crafted chapter of this book includes convenient summary windows, tables, graphs, and lists to provide ready access to the important concepts and results. Working systematically from general principles to specific applications, coverage spans from theory and experimental techniques in vibration damping to isolation, passive control, active control, and structural dynamic modification. The book also discusses specific issues in designing for and controlling vibrations and noise such as regenerative chatter in machine tools, fluid-induced vibration, hearing and psychological effects, instrumentation for monitoring, and statistical energy analysis. This carefully edited work strikes a balance between practical considerations, design issues, and experimental techniques.Complemented by design examples and case studies, Vibration Damping, Control, and Design builds a deep understanding of the concepts and demonstrates how to apply these principles to real systems.
