Beschreibung:
This self-contained book provides an introduction to the flow-oscillator modeling of vortex-induced bluff-body oscillations. One of the great challenges in engineering science also happens to be one of engineering design ¿ the modeling, analysis and design of vibrating structures driven by fluid motion.
Introduction.- Review of Literature in Vortex-Induced Oscillations.- The Fluid Mechanics of Vortex-Induced Vibration.- Computational Methods and Solutions.- Introduction to Analytical Dynamics and Mechanical Vibration.- The Formalism Used in this Monograph.- Vortex-Induced Vibration Problems.- Experiments in Support of the Models.- Case Studies.- Concluding Discussion.- Index.
