Description
The book's aim is to integrate the topics of fluid and structural dynamics, a developing field in research and academia. The purpose of this integration is to identify the causes of structural vibration problems which can be experienced on large engineering structures such as buildings, bridges or oil installations, and to prevent them at the design stage. There are currently no books of this type offered to the primary target group, structural engineers. There are textbooks on wind loading, structural dynamics, ocean engineering, presented as separate topics, but very little material in the literature which attempts to integrate fluid-structural dynamics. Integration of accurate description of fluid loading and the structural response can provide important knowledge to structural engineers in their analysis and design of structures.The book will, therefore, be of interest to engineers in all areas who have an interest in fluids, structures and general vibration problems. The book will contribute to the next generation of tools for improving the performance of large structures in coastal areas, in the ocean, and other areas where large structures will be built.
It will prepare the new generation of engineers for thorough plans of mitigation strategies in early phases of the analysis and design of structures, thus potentially saving human lives during natural hazard events. This book integrates the study of fluid and structural dynamics and explains and assesses damping techniques. It contains many worked examples and solutions.
