The analysis of structural vibration is obligatory in order to calculate the natural frequencies
of a structure, and the replication to the expected excitation. In this way it can be
determined whether a particular structure will consummate its intended function and, in integration,
the results of the dynamic loadings acting on a structure can be prognosticated, such as the
dynamic stresses, fatigue life and noise levels. Hence the integrity and usefulness of a
structure can be maximized and maintained. From the analysis it can be optically discerned which
structural parameters most affect the dynamic replication so that if an amelioration or
transmutation in the replication is required, the structure can be modified in the most economic and
congruous way. Very often the dynamic replication can only be efficaciously controlled by
transmuting the damping in the structure.
Structural Vibration: Analysis and Damping benefits from my earlier book Structural
Vibration Analysis: Modelling, Analysis and Damping of Vibrating Structures which was
published in 1983 but is now out of print. This enhanced successor is far more
comprehensive with more analytical discussion, further consideration of damping sources
and a more preponderant range of examples and quandaries. The mathematical modelling and vibration
analysis of structures are discussed in some detail, together with the pertinent theory. It additionally
provides an exordium to some of the excellent advanced specialized texts that are
available on the vibration of dynamic systems. In additament, it describes how structural
parameters can be transmuted to achieve the desired dynamic performance and, most
importantly, the mechanisms and methods for controlling structural damping.
