Synopsis

This volume emphasizes the fundamentals and mechanisms giving rise to flow-induced vibration of use to researchers, designers, and operators. Fluid–Structure Interactions provides useful problem-solving tools, and conveys the ideas in a physically comprehensible manner. The book includes a complete bibliography of important work in the field.

. The Non-linear behaviour of Fluid-Structure interactions. The possible existence of chaotic oscillations. The use of this area as a model to demonstrate new mathematical techniquesThis book will prove invaluable to researchers, practitioners, and students in fluid-structure interactions, flow-induced vibrations, and dynamics and vibrations.

About this title

About the Author

Michael Païdoussis is the Thomas Workman Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Mechanics (AAM). He is the Founding Editor of the Journal of Fluids and Structures, as of 1986. He has won the ASME Fluids Engineering Award in 1999 and the CANCAM prize in 1995. His principal research interests are in fluid-structure interactions, flow-induced vibrations, aero- and hydroelasticity, dynamics, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, all areas in which he is recognized as a leading expert.

From the Back Cover

Fluid-Structure Interactions is the first of two volumes which concentrates on the dynamics of slender bodies within, or containing axial flow. Paidoussis has provided an authoritative and cohesive text with far-reaching applications, including both the fundamentals and mechanisms leading to flow-induced vibrations.

The text discusses the causes of vibration as well as the symptoms, and also provides long-term solutions. For example, discovering the source of the vibrations, rather than suggesting a buffer to reduce the effect of the vibrations. The broad comprehensive treatment of this important area, and the complete bibliography of main works, provide the tools with which the reader can solve similar problems to those illustrated.
