Vibration Protection Systems
Design and deploy advanced vibration protection systems based on elastic composites under post-buckling, with this essential reference. Methods for designing vibration protection systems with negative and quasi-zero stiffness are formulated, explained, and demonstrated in practice. All key steps of the system design are covered, including the type and number synthesis, modelling and studying of stress-strain state under post-buckling of elastic composite designs, chaotic dynamics and stability conditions, real-time dimensioning, and active motion control. In addition to coverage of underlying theory, the use in helicopters, buses, railroad vehicles, construction equipment and agricultural machinery are included. An excellent reference for researchers and practicing engineers, as well as a tutorial for university students and professors with an interest in study, development and application of alternative methods of vibration protection anywhere.
- Embraces key methods for designing special vibration protection systems with negative and quasi-zero stiffness
- Provides methods and design sampling to elucidate a design process, making this more conscious, science-based, and less heuristic
- Suitable as a reference for researchers and engineering professionals in the aerospace, automotive, railroad, biomedical, instrument-making and other industries with an interest in development and application of alternative methods of vibration protection
