Book Description
"Stability Problems in Applied Mechanics starts with the stability problems in statics. The example of buckling of columns is studed through Euler method followed by the Energy method, based on Lagrange-Dirichlet theorem. Snap buckling, instability of shape, buckling due to follower load are also discussed. Insufficiency of static analysis for instability is clearly brought out and buckling problems are revisited from the point of view of dynamics. The theory of Dynamical System and the foundations of bifurcation theory and Floquet theory are developed and used to revisit the stability problems in the light of these unified mathematical concepts. This mathematical basis is then applied to investigate the stability problems encountered in dynamics of particle, rigid and flexible bodies. Finally the emergence of length scale and pattern formation as a consequence of instability in fluid, thermal and diffusion systems are discussed through a number of real-life problems. Different notions of stability and the analysis of nonlinear states are briefly included in two appendices."--BOOK JACKET.

Advanced Stress and Stability Analysis
Author: V.I. Feodosiev
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540239352
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This book is a collection of problems for advanced students in the area of Strength of Materials. It draws the reader ́s attention also to problems that are often overlooked and answers questions that are far beyond a training course and require more fundamental understanding. All problems are provided with detailed solutions to enable the reader to either learn about the problem-solving process or just to check his/her own way of solution. The research and educational Work of V.I. Feodosiev was carried out in the Bauman Moscow State technical University where he held the course on Strength of Materials for 50 years. Deep insight into engineering problems, clearness of concepts and elegance of solutions accompanied by pedagogical talent are the main features of his style.

Multiparameter Stability Theory with Mechanical Applications
Author: Alexander P. Seyranian
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812384065
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
This book deals with fundamental problems, concepts, and methods of multiparameter stability theory with applications in mechanics. It presents recent achievements and knowledge of bifurcation theory, sensitivity analysis of stability characteristics, general aspects of nonconservative stability problems, analysis of singularities of boundaries for the stability domains, stability analysis of multiparameter linear periodic systems, and optimization of structures under stability constraints. Systems with finite degrees of freedom and with continuous models are both considered. The book combines mathematical foundation with interesting classical and modern mechanical problems.A number of mechanical problems illustrating how bifurcations and singularities change the behavior of systems and lead to new physical phenomena are discussed. Among these problems, the authors consider systems of rotating bodies, tubes conveying fluid, elastic columns under the action of periodic and follower forces, optimization problems for conservative systems, etc. The methods presented are constructive and easy to implement in computer programs.This book is addressed to graduate students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in aerospace, naval, civil, and mechanical engineering. No special background is needed; just a basic knowledge of mathematics and mechanics.

Stability and Convergence of Mechanical Systems with Unilateral Constraints
Author: Remco I. Leine
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540769757
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
While the stability theory for systems with bilateral constraints is a well-established field, this monograph represents a systematic study of mechanical systems with unilateral constraints, such as unilateral contact, impact and friction. Such unilateral constraints give rise to non-smooth dynamical models for which stability theory is developed in this work. The book will be of interest to those working in the field of non-smooth mechanics and dynamics.

Introduction to the Theory of Stability
Author: David R. Merkin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461240468
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Many books on stability theory of motion have been published in various lan guages, including English. Most of these are comprehensive monographs, with each one devoted to a separate complicated issue of the theory. Generally, the examples included in such books are very interesting from the point of view of mathematics, without necessarily having much practical value. Usually, they are written using complicated mathematical language, so that except in rare cases, their content becomes incomprehensible to engineers, researchers, students, and sometimes even to professors at technical universities. The present book deals only with those issues of stability of motion that most often are encountered in the solution of scientific and technical problems. This allows the author to explain the theory in a simple but rigorous manner without going into minute details that would be of interest only to specialists. Also, using appropriate examples, he demonstrates the process of investigating the stability of motion from the formulation of a problem and obtaining the differential equations of perturbed motion to complete analysis and recommendations. About one fourth of the examples are from various areas of science and technology. Moreover, some of the examples and the problems have an independent value in that they could be applicable to the design of various mechanisms and devices. The present translation is based on the third Russian edition of 1987.
