Synopsis

This important book deals with vibrational mechanics ― the new, intensively developing section of nonlinear dynamics and the theory of nonlinear oscillations. It offers a general approach to the study of the effect of vibration on nonlinear mechanical systems.The book presents the mathematical apparatus of vibrational mechanics which is used to describe such nonlinear effects as the disappearance and appearance under vibration of stable positions of equilibrium and motions (i.e. attractors), the change of the rheological properties of the media, self-synchronization, self-balancing, the vibrational maintenance or deceleration (retardation) of the rotation of unbalanced rotors, resonances in the motions of celestial bodies, vibrational displacement and shift, vibrational excitation of streams and the transportation of bodies in the fluid. The book considers the use of these effects in creating new vibrational machines, technologies, and also principally new materials (”dynamical materials”).Vibrational Mechanics contains many results published only in Russian and therefore unknown to the specialists in the West, and also a review of the new results obtained by researchers after the book was first published in Russia.

About this title

Review

"I think this new book has no real competitors. It should be of interest to university teachers and researchers in vibrations and mathematics, industrial vibration specialists and researchers, and university and company bookstores and libraries. It could even make up a textbook for one or more specialized courses in vibrations for graduate and postgraduate university classes." Jon Juel Thomsen Technical University of Denmark "The monograph is highly descriptive and contains a great many of very vivid schematic diagrams demonstrating the impressive diversity of effects - it reflects the author's superiority of understanding of the subject matter and his splendid teaching skills, and it is an outstanding, probably unrivalled work." ZAMM, 2001

Synopsis

A review of vibrational mechanics - the developing section of nonlinear dynamics and the theory of nonlinear oscillations. It offers a general approach to the study of the effect of nonlinear mechanical systems. The book presents the mathematical apparatus of vibrational mechanics which is used to describe such nonlinear effects as the disappearance and appearance under vibration of stable positions of equilibrium and motions (attractors), the change of the rheological properties of the media, self-sychronization, self-balancing, the vibrational maintenance or deceleration (retardation) of the rotation of unbalanced routers, resonances in the motions of celestial bodies, vibrational displacement and shift, vibrational excitation of streams and the transportation of bodies in the fluid. The book considers the use of these effects in creating new vibrational machines, technologies, and also principally new materials ("dynamic materials"). The volume contains many results previously published only in Russian and therefore unknown to specialists in the West, and also a review of the results obtained by researchers after the book was first published in Russia.
