Description: Vibrations in systems with a periodic structure is the subject of many ongoing research activities. This work presents the analysis of such systems with the help of the theory of representation groups by finite element methods, dynamic Compliance and dynamic rigidness methods, specially adjusted for the analysis of engineering structures. The approach presented in this book permits a simplification and facilitates the understanding of mechanical vibrations in various structures. The book includes extended studies of even complicated machinery structures with an emphasis on flight vehicle engines.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book is in two parts. ... The work is based on original research by the authors. ... The book contains many numerical examples of real-life engineering structures, in particular aviation engines. ... This book is an important addition to the library, being more than just a résumé of known mathematical techniques with the addition of an explanation of the authors' original work."
