Description: This book investigates linear and non linear vibration phenomena in discrete and continuous structures with emphasis on the methods provided by mathematical analysis and their applications to concrete examples in mechanical engineering. Efforts have been made ensure a clear understanding of the basic ideas related to coupling and resonance effects, modal analysis, stability or instability criteria, rotating machinery, and wave interaction mechanism. The book is suitable for students and researchers in mechanics and mechanical engineering. From the reviews: ... Not only is this book concerned with known problems, but it also presents some original results and new and fruitful interpretations for several theories. The theoretical part of each chapter is illustrated by numerous very well-chosen examples of application, which are of great interest in theory, designing and mechanical engineering.
