Modelling of Mechanical Systems: Fluid-structure Interaction: Vol 3

WRITTEN BY AN EMINENT AUTHORITY IN THE FIELD, MODELLING OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS: FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IS THE THIRD IN A SERIES OF FOUR SELF-CONTAINED VOLUMES SUITABLE FOR PRACTITIONERS, ACADEMICS AND STUDENTS ALIKE IN ENGINEERING, PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND APPLIED MECHANICS. THE SERIES SKILFULLY WEAVES A THEORETICAL AND PRAGMATIC APPROACH TO MODELLING MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND TO ANALYSING THE RESPONSES OF THESE SYSTEMS. THE STUDY OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTIONS IN THIS THIRD VOLUME COVERS THE COUPLED DYNAMICS OF SOLIDS AND FLUIDS, RESTRICTED TO THE CASE OF OSCILLATORY MOTIONS ABOUT A STATE OF STATIC EQUILIBRIUM. PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF MODELLING THESE MECHANISMS ARE DESCRIBED IN DEPTH AND ILLUSTRATED BY NUMEROUS WORKED OUT EXERCISES. <BR><BR>· WRITTEN BY A WORLD AUTHORITY IN THE FIELD IN A CLEAR, CONCISE AND ACCESSIBLE STYLE <BR>· COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE OF MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES USED TO PERFORM COMPUTER-BASED ANALYTICAL STUDIES AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS <BR>· A KEY REFERENCE FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, RESEARCHERS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
