Engineering Dynamics and Vibrations

Jia and Paik have curated a useful update on recent developments in important areas of engineering dynamics, vibrations, impact, and noise. This technical book contains ten chapters contributed by various authors from around the globe who are well-known in the field. After an introduction to the book's scope, chapters discuss non-linear structural responses in various engineering applications, from offshore drilling to bridges. Chapters delve into topics such as hydrocarbon explosions on offshore platforms, stochastic dynamic analysis of marine structures, and the mitigation of stresses and vibrations in deep-water steel riser design by the introduction of a lazy wave geometry. Case studies from later chapters include ground motion prediction equations for energy-based demand parameters with a regional application to northwestern Turkey, and an analysis of seismic mitigation of single pylon cable-stayed bridges. The figures and tables are straightforward and well designed, enhancing understanding of the text. The text is suitable for mechanical engineering students as well as professionals. Each chapter includes a large number of references. - CHOICE, September 2019 Vol. 57 No. 1
