Optimized Engineering Vibration Isolation, Absorption and Control (Springer Tracts in Civil Engineering)

This book presents the research results of advanced vibration control technology, based on two types of typical equipment in industrial engineering of China: power equipment and vibration-sensitive equipment. The main contents of this book include optimized active control strategy research, semi-active control research that can track and equivalently achieve active control effects, refined analysis of active control based on finite element method, research on the impact of vibration isolator layout on vibration isolation performance, passive and active control research based on system freedom decoupling and load decoupling, realized passive and active control research using quasi-zero stiffness system based on positive and negative stiffness, intelligent sensors optimization deployment of plane and space structure, and related key technology application cases in engineering applications. This book provides useful references for engineers and researchers in industrial engineering and technical support for practitioners in the development of China's high-end industry.
