TI - Introduction to finite element vibration analysis SN - 9780521191609 PY - 2010/// CY - New York PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Vibration KW - Finite element method N1 - Includes bibliographical references (p. 479-496) and index N2 - 'This is an introduction to the mathematical basis of finite element analysis as applied to vibrating systems. Finite element analysis is a technique that is very important in modeling the response of structures to dynamic loads. Although this book assumes no previous knowledge of finite element methods, those who do have knowledge will still find the book to be useful. It can be utilised by aeronautical, civil, mechanical, and structural engineers as well as naval architects. This second edition includes information on the many developments that have taken place over the last twenty years. Existing chapters have been expanded where necessary, and three new chapters have been included that discuss the vibration of shells and multi-layered elements and provide an introduction to the hierarchical finite element method'--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1011/2010029494-t.html ER -
