Advanced structural dynamics and active control structures.

From MaRDI portal





The monograph presents advanced structural dynamics and active control of structures. It consists of a Series Preface, Preface, List of Symbols, 12 Chapters, 3 Appendices, References, and Index. It is a continuation of \textit{W. K. Gawronski}'s previous book [Dynamics and control of structures: a modal approach. Berlin: Springer (1998; Zbl 0921.73216)]. This expanded book includes three new chapters (Chapters 3, 8, 9), revised previous chapters, and updated appendices. Chapter 3, ``Special models, includes models with rigid-body modes, accelerometers, actuators, small nonproportional damping, generalized and discrete-time models. Chapter 8, ``Modal actuators and sensors, considers these items through modal transformations and grammian adjustment. Chapter 9, ``System identification, deals with discrete-time systems and the determination of Markov parameters. Other chapters have been significantly revised and supplemented with new topics, including discrete-time models of structures, limited-time and -frequency grammians and reduction, almost-balanced modal models, simultaneous placement of sensors and actuators, and structural damage detection. Appendix A includes thirteen new Matlab programs. Appendix B presents eleven Matlab programs solving examples from each chapter. Model data are given in Appendix C. The monograph is well written and readable, with a presentation supposing introductory knowledege of structural dynamics and linear control. The text can be used in graduate courses on structural dynamics and control. The book is an up-to-date authoritative reference supplied with numerous illustrative examples which will be useful to graduate students, professionals, researchers, and practitioners in the field.
