Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design

by Eugene I. Rivin

Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Offers designers and users of mechanical systems an overview of structural stiffness and damping and their critical roles in mechanical design. The text assesses the relationship between stiffness and damping parameters in mechanical systems and structural materials. An accompanying disk contains detailed analyses of stiffness- and damping-critical systems.

Book News Annotation:

Offers designers and users of mechanical systems an overview of structural stiffness and damping and their critical roles in mechanical design. Focuses on damping properties of contacts (joints) and power transmission systems, and the interrelationship between stiffness and damping parameters in mechanical systems and structural materials. Several typical cases in which stiffness is closely associated with damping are addressed, and basic conceptual issues related to stiffness and damping are accentuated. A more detailed analytical treatment is given in cases where the results were not previously published or were only published in hard-to-obtain sources. Many of these concepts are illustrated by practical results and applications. Can be used as a reference for engineers, and as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
