Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Stru ctural Dynamics and Signal Processing

Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing Michael J Brennan, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Brazil Bin Tang, Dalian University of Technology, China Explains fundamental concepts in vibrations and signal processing by way of virtual experiments using MATLAB Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing brings together topics in mechanical vibration and signal processing under the umbrella of virtual experiments in vibration. In order for the reader to be able to conduct some virtual experiments on vibration isolators, vibration absorbers, and distributed parameter structures, such as beams and rods, a thorough grounding is provided in vibrations and signal processing. Key features: * Applies a physics based approach to the study of vibrations and signal processing. * Presents computational virtual experiments using MATLAB examples. * Covers fundamental concepts in vibrations and signal processing. * Describes typical vibration testing set-ups and the concept of the virtual experiment.
* Enables the reader to conduct virtual experiments on vibration isolators, vibration absorbers, and distributed parameters in structures such as beams and rods. Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing is the ideal book for a student, researcher or mechanical engineer who is new to the subjects of vibrations, signal processing and vibration testing.
