Passive Vibration Control of Structures
Passive Vibration Control of Structures by Suhasini Madhekar, published by Taylor & Francis Group in 2022, is a comprehensive resource that explores the theory and application of passive vibration control devices in structural engineering. Spanning 398 pages, this edition presents a detailed examination of how these devices can mitigate the dynamic response of structures, ensuring both safety and occupant comfort during various hazards such as earthquakes and high winds.
Readers will find an in-depth discussion on the fundamentals of vibration response control, including practical applications and mathematical modeling of passive dampers. The book addresses the control of displacement, velocity, and acceleration in structures like buildings and bridges, and includes MATLAB® codes for analyzing dynamic responses in single and multi-degree of freedom systems. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in civil and mechanical engineering, this work serves as a valuable reference for those involved in the fields of dynamics and vibration control.
Official synopsis Publisher
Research in vibration response control deals not only with prevention of catastrophic failures of structures during natural or accidental/manmade hazards but also ensures the comfort of occupants through serviceability. Therefore, the focus of this book is on the theory of dynamic response control of structures by using different kinds of passive vibration control devices. The strategies used for controlling displacement, velocity, and acceleration response of structures such as buildings, bridges, and liquid storage tanks under the action of dynamic loads emanating from earthquake, wind, wave, and so forth are detailed.
The book:
- Explains fundamentals of vibration response control devices and their practical applications in response mitigation of structures exposed to earthquake, wind, and wave loading
- Offers a comprehensive overview of each passive damper, its functioning, and mathematical modeling in a dynamical system
- Covers practical aspects of employing the passive control devices to some of the benchmark problems that are developed from existing buildings and bridges in different countries worldwide
- Includes MATLAB® codes for determining the dynamic response of single degree of freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) systems along with computational models of the passive control devices
This book is aimed at senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in civil, earthquake, aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, engineering dynamics, and vibration control, including structural engineers, architects, designers, manufacturers, and other professionals.
