Understanding nonlinear vibrations is becoming increasingly important in a range of engineering applications, particularly in the design of flexible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, and sports stadia. There is an increasing trend towards lighter structures, with increased slenderness, often made of new composite materials and requiring some form of deployment and/or active vibration control. There are also applications in the areas of robotics, mechatronics, micro electrical mechanical systems, non-destructive testing and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring. Two broader themes cut across these application areas: (i) vibration suppression - or active damping - and, (ii) adaptive structures and machines.
In this expanded 2nd edition, revisions include:
- An additional section on passive vibration control, including nonlinear vibration mounts.
- A more in-depth description of semi-active control, including switching and continuous schemes for dampers and other semi-active systems.
- A complet

"This book covers nonlinear vibrations of elastics structures, beams, plates, shells and cables. It provides relevant control techniques for elastic and adaptive structures. ... the present book is a good source of material for a graduate course in this area. It may also serve a useful reference for researchers working in control theory of nonlinear vibrations." (Fiazud Din Zaman, zbMATH 1315.74002, 2015)
