Focusing on applications rather than rigorous proofs, this volume is suitable as a text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students concerned with vibration problems. It also serves as a practical handbook for performing vibration calculations and features extensive appendices and answers to selected problems. 128 figures. 1989 edition.

The book deals with the development of continual models of turbulent natural media. Such models serve as a ground for the statement and numerical evaluation of the key problems of the structure and evolution of the numerous astrophysical and geophysical objects. The processes of ordering (self-organization)...

Stress and strain analysis of rotors subjected to surface and body loads, as well as to thermal loads deriving from temperature variation along the radius, constitutes a classic subject of machine design. Nevertheless attention is limited to rotor profiles for which governing equations are solvable...
