Description
Summary:"Structural designs in aeronautical, marine, mechanical, and civil engineering often incorporate regular, irregular, and complex-shaped members to reduce costly material, lighten loads, provide ventilation, and alter structures' resonant frequencies. Vibration of Plates gives engineering and architecture professionals optimal methods of analyzing the vibration that can result from this practice to understand how it affects the behavior of complex structures. This comprehensive, self-contained introduction to vibration theory and analysis of two-dimensional plates reflects the author's more than 15 years of original research on plate vibration. The text also offers background information on vibration problems along with a discussion of various plate geometries and boundary conditions, including the new concepts of Boundary Characteristic Orthogonal Polynomials (BCOPs)."--Jacket
