Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This book ties together classical and modern topics of advanced vibration analysis in an interesting and lucid manner. It is intended for advanced students, university teachers, and researchers in mechanical/structural engineering dynamics, and professional engineers aiming at strengthening their theoretical foundation. Assuming background knowledge in elementary vibrations, it provides a set of useful tools for understanding and analyzing the more complex dynamical phenomena that can be met in engineering and scientific practice. Summarizing first basic linear vibration theory, it progresses over various types of nonlinearity and nonlinear interaction to bifurcation analysis, chaotic vibrations, and special high-frequency effects. It trains the student to analyze simple models, recognize nonlinear phenomena, and work with advanced tools such as perturbation analysis and bifurcation analysis. Focusing attention on a limited number of simple, generic models, the book covers the qualitative behavior of a wide variety of mechanical/structural systems; the key examples dealt with can be fabricated as simple physical models for classroom demonstrations. Explaining theory in terms of relevant examples from real systems, this book is user-friendly and meets the increasing interest in, and significance of, nonlinear dynamics in mechanical/structural engineering. This 3rd edition adds many new topics, sections, figures, exercise problems, literature references, and other updates; it is backed up by a separately available booklet with worked out solutions to exercise problems.
