Daniel J. Inman "Vibration with Control"
Wiley | 2006 | ISBN: 0470010517 | PDF | 388 pages | 8MB
Engineers are becoming increasingly aware of the problems caused by vibration in engineering design, particularly in the areas of structural health monitoring and smart structures. Vibration is a constant problem as it can impair performance and lead to fatigue, damage and the failure of a structure. Control of vibration is a key factor in preventing such detrimental results.
This book presents a homogenous treatment of vibration by including those factors from control that are relevant to modern vibration analysis, design and measurement. Vibration and control are established on a firm mathematical basis and the disciplines of vibration, control, linear algebra, matrix computations, and applied functional analysis are connected.
Key Features:
* Assimilates the discipline of contemporary structural vibration with active control
* Introduces the use of Matlab into the solution of vibration and vibration control problems
* Provides a unique blend of practical and theoretical developments
* Contains examples and problems along with a solutions manual and power point presentations
Vibration with Control is an essential text for practitioners, researchers, and graduate students as it can be used as a reference text for its complex chapters and topics, or in a tutorial setting for those improving their knowledge of vibration and learning about control for the first time. Whether or not you are familiar with vibration and control, this book is an excellent introduction to this emerging and increasingly important engineering discipline.

Product Description:
Wind loads have to be taken into account when designing civil engineering structures. The wind load on structures can be systematised by means of the wind load chain: wind climate (global wind), terrain (wind at low height), aerodynamic response (wind flow to pressure), mechanical response (wind pressure to structural response) and design criteria. Starting with an introduction of the wind load chain, the book moves on to meteorological considerations, atmospheric boundary layer, static wind load, dynamic wind load and scaling laws used in wind-tunnel tests. The dynamic wind load covers vibrations induced by wind turbulence, vortex shedding, flutter and galloping. The book gives a comprehensive treatment of wind effects on structures and it will be useful for consulting engineers designing wind-sensitive structures. It will also be valuable for students of civil engineering as textbook or background material. It derives the theoretical background of wind loaded structures and gives practical applications for a large variety of structures, such as low rise static structures, buildings, chimneys and cable-supported bridges. The European Prestandard on Wind Actions, ENV 1991-2-4, is used throughout the book as a code reference.

Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis sustainable design analysis software is a comprehensive concept-to-detail sustainable building design tool. Ecotect Analysis offers a wide range of simulation and building energy analysis functionality that can improve performance of existing buildings and new building designs. Online energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis capabilities integrate with tools that enable you to visualize and simulate a building's performance within the context of its environment.
Features:
* Whole-building energy analysis—Calculate total energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly, daily, and hourly basis, using a global database of weather information.
* Thermal performance—Calculate heating and cooling loads for models and analyze effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration, and equipment.
* Water usage and cost evaluation—Estimate water use inside and outside the building.
* Solar radiation—Visualize incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces, over any period.
* Daylighting—Calculate daylight factors and illuminance levels at any point in the model.
* Shadows and reflections—Display the sun’s position and path relative to the model at any date, time, and location.

Does anybody have some publication(s) about TRAFFIC-INDUCED VIBRATION in STRUCTURES? I would appreciate it very much if someone is willing to share any kind of publications a/o books, journals, articles, etc.
Just a note: I'm especially interested in Traffic Induced Vibrations just in Buildings, Houses... (NOT in Bridges, Tanks etc.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: You may use this software for evaluation purposes only.
If you like it, it is strongly suggested you buy it to support the developers.
By any means you may not use this software to make money or use it for commercial purpose.
I am looking for a book in which i can find the methods of damage detection in building structures with numerical examples. I am working on application of vibration control in structure health monitoring of building structures. So anyone who have such stuff related to model updating, damage detection.....thanks
Soil-Structure Interaction of High-rise Building Resting on Soft Soil
ABSTRACT
Taking one real high-rise frame shear-wall structure in Fujian province of China as an example, the influences of soil-structure interaction on the super-structure are studied with ABAQUS procedure. The peak response of absolute acceleration, story drift, moments at beam ends, as well as inner force of columns and shear walls are analyzed under two orthogonal horizontal directions seismic excitations. Then the influences of field nonlinearity on seismic response of high-rise building are summarized and the rationality of reduction factor for soil-structure interaction calculation specified in Chinese seismic code is discussed.
It is concluded that it’s usually safe for most stories of the high-rise frame shear-wall structure when the soil-structure interaction considered according to Chinese seismic code; however, the seismic response

Process Modelling and Simulation with Finite Element Methods
Author: William B. J. Zimmerman | Size: ? MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 396 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 9812387935, ISBN-13: 978-9812387936
Stability, Vibration and Control of Systems
This book presents a systematic description and case studies of chemical engineering modelling and simulation based on the MATLAB/FEMLAB tools, in support of selected topics in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that require numerical solution of complex balance equations (ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, nonlinear equations, integro-differential equations). These systems arise naturally in analysis of transport phenomena, process systems, chemical reactions and chemical thermodynamics, and particle rate processes. Templates are given for modelling both state-of-the-art research topics (e.g. microfluidic networks, film drying, multiphase flow, population balance equations) and case studies of commonplace design calculations - mixed phase reactor design, heat transfer, flowsheet analysis of unit operations, flash distillations, etc. The great strength of this book is that it makes modelling and simulating in the MATLAB/FEMLAB environment approachable to both the novice and the expert modeller.
