Vibration Engineering: Modeling, Simulation, and Applications

Vibration Engineering presents recent developments in the field of engineering, encompassing industrial norms, applications within the finite element method, infrastructure safety assessment, and active vibration control strategies. It offers a study in seismic vibration control and analysis for building structures and liquid storage tanks.

Spanning across the multiple domains of vibration engineering, the book highlights machinery diagnostics, modal analysis, energy harvesting, balancing, vibration isolation, and human-vibration interaction. It discusses experimental fault identification in journal bearings using vibration-based methods. This book also considers advances in vibration-based structural health monitoring of civil infrastructures.

This book will be a useful reference for industry professionals and engineers facing challenges while dealing with the vibrations in the fields of mechanical, aerospace, structural, and civil engineering.
