About this title

Synopsis

LINEAR and NONLINEAR INSTABILITIES in MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

An in-depth insight into nonlinear analysis and control

As mechanical systems become lighter, faster, and more flexible, various nonlinear instability phenomena can occur in practical systems.

The fundamental knowledge of nonlinear analysis and control is essential to engineers for analysing and controlling nonlinear instability phenomena. This book bridges the gap between the mathematical expressions of nonlinear dynamics and the corresponding practical phenomena. Linear and Nonlinear Instabilities in Mechanical Systems: Analysis, Control and Application provides a detailed and informed insight into the fundamental methods for analysis and control for nonlinear instabilities from the practical point of view.

Key features:

Refers to the behaviours of practical mechanical systems such as aircraft, railway vehicle, robot manipulator, micro/nano sensor

Enhances the rigorous and practical understanding of mathematical methods from an engineering point of view

The theoretical results obtained by nonlinear analysis are interpreted by using accompanying videos on the real nonlinear behaviors of nonlinear mechanical systems

Linear and Nonlinear Instabilities in Mechanical Systems is an essential textbook for students on engineering courses, and can also be used for self-study or reference by engineers.

About the Author

HIROSHI YABUNO is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Tsukuba in Japan. In 1990, he attained his Ph.D. in Engineering from Keio University, Japan and was appointed Professor at Keio University. He was a Visiting Scholar at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1997 and, in 2002 and 2008, he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He was also Chair of Working Party II (Dynamical Systems and Mechatronics) of IUTAM. He is an associate editor of international journals including Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics (ASME), Nonlinear Dynamics, Journal of Vibration and Control, and International Journal of Dynamics in Various Mechanical Systems and Control. His research interests include analysis and control of nonlinear dynamics and positive utilization of the nonlinear instability phenomena to mechanical systems in particular, micro/nano resonators.
