Nonlinear vibrations. (English) Zbl 0589.73027
Cambridge etc.: Cambridge University Press. (Orig. publ. by Akademie- Verlag, Berlin). 420 p. £35.00; $ 59.50 (1986).
The two well known authors write for the engineer, they present a close interrelation between systematic procedures (mostly analytical) and various phenomena of technical relevance. Forced, parametric and self- excited oscillations of simple and multiple degrees of freedom systems are treated. Special questions like quenching of self-excited oscillations and random influences are discussed.
The book supplies a very good basis not only for an understanding of nonlinear vibrations, but also for an intuitive grasp of nonlinear effects which is necessary to avoid or to apply them.
