Wave Propagation in Structures
Author: James F. DoylePublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030596796
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
This third edition builds on the introduction of spectral analysis as a means of investigating wave propagation and transient oscillations in structures. Each chapter of the textbook has been revised, updated and augmented with new material, such as a modified treatment of the curved plate and cylinder problem that yields a relatively simple but accurate spectral analysis. Finite element methods are now integrated into the spectral analyses to gain further insights into the high-frequency problems. In addition, a completely new chapter has been added that deals with waves in periodic and discretized structures. Examples for phononic materials meta-materials as well as genuine atomic systems are given.
Smart Structures Theory
Author: Inderjit ChopraPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 052186657X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 925
Book Description
This book focuses on smart materials and structures, which are also referred to as intelligent, adaptive, active, sensory, and metamorphic. The ultimate goal is to develop biologically inspired multifunctional materials with the capability to adapt their structural characteristics, monitor their health condition, perform self-diagnosis and self-repair, morph their shape, and undergo significant controlled motion.
Spectral Analysis of Nonlinear Elastic Shapes
Author: James F. DoylePublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030594947
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
This book concerns the elastic stability of thin-walled structures — one of the most challenging problems facing structural engineers because of its high degree of nonlinearity — and introduces the innovative approach of using spectral analysis of the shapes and the stiffness to gain insights into the nonlinear deformations. The methodology greatly facilitates correlating the shape changes with the stiffness changes. Professor Doyle also develops specific computer procedures that complement finite element methods so that the ideas and methods are applicable to general structural problems. Basic validity of the procedures is established using key archetypal problems from buckling/post-buckling of columns, arches, curved plates, and cylindrical shells, all worked out in significant detail. The book is ideal for a wide variety of structural engineers, particularly those in aerospace and civil fields. Researchers in computational mechanics also find a rich source of new ideas for post-processing data from nonlinear analyses.
Rotorcraft Aeromechanics
Author: Wayne JohnsonPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107028078
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 949
Book Description
A rotorcraft is a class of aircraft that uses large-diameter rotating wings to accomplish efficient vertical take-off and landing. The class encompasses helicopters of numerous configurations (single main rotor and tail rotor, tandem rotors, coaxial rotors), tilting proprotor aircraft, compound helicopters, and many other innovative configuration concepts. Aeromechanics covers much of what the rotorcraft engineer needs: performance, loads, vibration, stability, flight dynamics, and noise. These topics include many of the key performance attributes and the often-encountered problems in rotorcraft designs. This comprehensive book presents, in depth, what engineers need to know about modelling rotorcraft aeromechanics. The focus is on analysis, and calculated results are presented to illustrate analysis characteristics and rotor behaviour. The first third of the book is an introduction to rotorcraft aerodynamics, blade motion, and performance. The remainder of the book covers advanced topics in rotary wing aerodynamics and dynamics.
Dynamics of Flexible Aircraft
Author: Rafael PalaciosPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108420605
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 527
Book Description
Explore the interface between aeroelasticity, flight dynamics and control in this fresh, multidisciplinary approach. New insights into the interaction between these fields, rarely separately considered in most modern aircraft, are fully illustrated in this one-of-a-kind book. The comprehensive, systematic coverage will enable the reader to analyse and design next-generation aircraft. Presenting basic concepts in a rigorous yet accessible way, the book builds up to state-of-the-art models through an intuitive step-by-step approach. Both linear and non-linear attributes are covered, and by revisiting classical solutions using modern analysis methods this book provides a unique, modern perspective to bridge the gap between disciplines. Numerous original numerical examples, including online source codes, help to build intuition through hands-on activities. This book will empower the reader to design better and more environmentally friendly aircraft, and is an ideal resource for graduate students, researchers and aerospace engineers.
