Fundamentals of Structural Engineering provides a balanced, seamless treatment of both classic, analytic methods and contemporary, computer-based techniques for conceptualizing and designing a structure. The book''s principle goal is to foster an intuitive understanding of structural behavior based on problem solving experience for students of civil engineering and architecture who have been exposed to the basic concepts of engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials. Distinct from many undergraduate textbooks focused mainly on either teaching manual analysis methods and applying them to simple, idealized structures-an approach based on the premise that intuition about structural behavior is developed as one works through the manual computations which, at times, may seem exhaustive, or reformulating structural analysis methods in terms of matrix notation-an approach that provides the basis for developing and understanding computer software codes, but does not contribute toward developing intuition about structural behavior. The authors of this text recognize the notion that engineers reason about behavior using simple models and intuition they acquire through problem solving. The approach adopted in this text develops this type of intuition through by presenting extensive, realistic problems and case studies together with computer simulation, allowing rapid exploration how a structure responds to changes in geometry and physical parameters. The integrated approach employed in Fundamentals of Structural Engineering offers comprehensive preparation for students and authoritative reference for practitioners of structural engineering.

This book is written as an introduction to rotor-bearing dynamics for practicing engineers and students who are involved in rotordynamics and bearing design. The goal of this book is to provide a step-by-step approach to the understanding of fundamentals of rotor-bearing dynamics by using DyRoBeS . Therefore, the emphasis of this book is on the basic principals, phenomena, modeling, and interpretation of the results. Numerous examples, from a single-degree-of-freedom system to complicated industrial rotating machinery, are employed throughout this book to illustrate these fundamental dynamic behaviors. The concepts in the text are reinforced by parametric studies and numerous illustrative examples and figures.The book begins with a brief discussion of the mathematical modeling of physical dynamic systems and an overview of the basic vibration concepts in Chapter 1.The coordinate systems and the kinematics of the rotor motion are presented in Chapter 2.A simple two-degrees-of-freedom rotor system, the Laval-Jeffcott rotor model, is utilized in Chapter 3 to demonstrate many important phenomena in rotordynamics. This simple 2DOF model provides many valuable physical insights into more practical and complicated systems.Chapter 4 discusses the rotating disk equations and rigid rotor dynamics.Chapter 5 covers the finite element formulation for a rotating shaft element.Chapter 6 deals with various types of bearings, dampers, seals and other interconnection components. All the reaction forces from these components are non-linear in nature. The concept of linearization around the static equilibrium is discussed.Chapter 7 summarizes the lateral vibration study with several practical examples. Various solution techniques and interpretation of the results are discussed.Chapter 8 is devoted to the important subject of torsional vibration. Finally, a brief description of the balancing method, influence coefficient method is presented in Chapter 9.

This book studies methods for a robust design of rotors against self-excited vibrations. The occurrence of self-excited vibrations in engineering applications if often unwanted and in many cases difficult to model. Thinking of complex systems such as machines with many components and mechanical contacts, it is important to have guidelines for design so that the functionality is robust against small imperfections. This book discusses the question on how to design a structure such that unwanted self-excited vibrations do not occur. It shows theoretically and practically that the old design rule to avoid multiple eigenvalues points toward the right direction and have optimized structures accordingly.This extends results for the well-known flutter problem in which equations of motion with constant coefficients occur to the case of a linear conservative system with arbitrary time periodic perturbations.

This book highlights and explains the significance of philosophical, logical, and scientific principles for engineering education/training and engineering works.In so doing, it aims to help to rectify the neglect of philosophy and logic in current education and training programs, which emphasize analytical and numerical methods at the expense of the innovative practical and creative abilities so important for engineering in the past. Individual chapters examine the relation of philosophy, logic, and science to engineering, drawing attention to, for example, the significance of ethics, the relevance of the philosophy of science, and the increasing importance of application of fuzzy logic to engineering.Modeling principles and philosophy in engineering are discussed, and the impact of different education systems, examined. Too often engineers have become reliant on readily available formulations and software; this book offers an antidote, promoting the recognition of artistic and humanitarian aspects and their integration in engineering works.

Mechanical vibration is normally an undesired condition which can cause problems such as discomfort, noise, fatigue, etc.Shock is a particular type of vibration of transient nature containing high levels of energy in a very short period of time It is vital for engineers to understand and apply vibration control methods, either by introducing structural modifications, reducing the source of vibration, or interposing an isolator between receiver and source. The easiest mathematical representation of these isolators is a passive combination of a spring and a damping of fixed properties.There are some isolators where the properties can change depending upon the vibration source called semi active, or adaptive vibration isolators.This book explores the application of a novel stiffness switching strategy to achieve an improved shock isolator. This is a two stage strategy controlling the vibration response during the shock and the later residual vibration.The book presents a review of the state of the art in shock isolation, theoretical models for switching stiffness and experimental validation.

There is a resurgence of applications in which the calculus of variations has direct relevance. In addition to application to solid mechanics and dynamics, it is now being applied in a variety of numerical methods, numerical grid generation, modern physics, various optimization settings, and fluid dynamics, for example. Many of these applications, such as nonlinear optimal control theory applied to continuous systems, have only recently become tractable computationally, with the advent of advanced algorithms and large computer systems.The content of the text reflects the strong connection between calculus of variations and the applications for which variational methods form the fundamental foundation. Most readers will be pleased to note that the mathematical fundamentals of calculus of variations (at least those necessary to pursue applications) is rather compact and is contained in a single chapter of the book. Therefore, the majority of the text consists of applications of variational calculus for a variety of fields.- Emphasis on modern applications- Provides a concise treatment of the calculus of variations- Derivation of the ubiquitous Hamilton''s principle directly from the first law of thermodynamics- Includes derivation of the governing equations of many discrete and continuous phenomena from Hamilton''s principle
