Flow-Induced Vibration

First edition, 1977. Provides engineers with theoretical and practical methods for predicting and minimizing structural damage from vibration induced by wind, water, or internal flows. Applications include buildings, bridges, offshore platforms, heat exchangers, power lines, ducts, and aerospace structures. Discusses such phenomena as galloping, vortex shedding, buffeting, flutter, sonic fatigue, and gust loading. Other topics include various types of analysis and modelling, turbulence, sound, and damping. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
