Flow-induced Vibrations An Engineering Guide

This graduate-level text presents a synthesis of research and experience from disparate fields to form guidelines to dealing with vibration phenomena of many different origins. It is particularly geared toward assessing the sources of excitation in a flow system, in identifying the actual danger spots, and in finding appropriate cures. Flow-induced vibrations are presented in terms of their basic elements: body oscillators, fluid oscillators, and sources of excitation. The unified approach is broad enough to permit treatment of the major excitation mechanism, yet simple enough to be of practical use. 1994 ed.Naudascher, Eduard is the author of 'Flow-induced Vibrations An Engineering Guide', published 2005 under ISBN 9780486442822 and ISBN 0486442829.
