Chapter
Frequency Domain
The time response of a complicated structure which is exposed to a number of forces is often extremely difficult to interpret. However, if the behavior of a linear mechanical system is studied in the frequency...

Chapter
Interaction Between Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
The simple differential equations, describing the bending of plates and beams derived in the previous chapter, are only valid as long as the structures can be considered as “thin.”

Chapter
Longitudinal Vibrations of Finite Beams
In Sect. 1.2, the free vibration of a simple mass–spring system was discussed. It was shown that the time dependence of the free vibrations was determined by the natural frequ...

Chapter
Flexural Vibrations of Finite Plates
The displacement of a vibrating beam can be described in a closed form or as an infinite sum over the eigenfunctions for certain boundary conditions.
