Wiley Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models

Explore advanced concepts in vibration modeling with Structural Dynamic Analysis with Generalized Damping Models. While viscous damping has been a standard practice in dynamics since the late 19th century, this approach is often used for mathematical convenience rather than accurately representing the physics of vibration damping. This book addresses the limitations of traditional models by focusing on the extensive research conducted over the last decade regarding non-viscous damping models. Designed for professionals and students in mechanical engineering and solid mechanics, this text covers the vibration of non-viscously damped systems. It provides a necessary look into more general damping models that better reflect real-world physical properties. This resource is an essential addition to your technical library for applications spanning aerospace to civil engineering, offering a modern perspective on structural dynamics and system identification.
