Product Description: This text is an introduction to the dynamics of active structures and to the feedback control of lightly damped flexible structures; the emphasis is placed on basic issues and simple control strategies that work.Now in its third edition, more chapters have been added, and comments and feedback from readers have been taken into account, while at the same time the unique premise of bridging the gap between structure and control has remained...read more

This second edition covers recent theoretical and practical developments, while at the same time devoting considerable space to fundamental principles that will not become outdated with time. It begins with an updated overview and includes new information included reflects the advances that have been made in algorithms, DSP, hardware, and applications.

Product Description: This book deals with the structural vibration reduction making use of passive damping control techniques by means of surface treatments with viscoelastic materials. In fact, this kind of vibration control technique is largely utilised nowadays for several industrial applications, such as aeronautical and automotive components...read more

Product Description: The first book of its kind, it bridges the gap between mechanical design and final damper control. This book covers not only theoretical aspects of application design but also practical aspects of existing applications, and the material applies to both new and retrofit projects...read more
