Description

The volume is devoted to the dynamics of rods, which is a branch of mech- ics of deformable bodies.

The main goal of the book is to present systema- cally theoretical fundamentals of the mechanics of rods as well as numerical methods used for practical purposes.

Linear and nonlinear equations governing a rod's oscillations are p- sented.

Methods of determining eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in conser- tive and non-conservative problems along with numerical methods dealing with forced, parametric, and random oscillations of rods are given.

Some - sues of interaction of rods with air (liquid) flows and the dynamics of spa- curved rods containing flows of liquid are considered.

The book consists of nine chapters and appendices and may be conv- tionally divided into two parts.

That is, Chapters 1 to 6 contain, in the main, theoretical material, whereas Chapters 7 to 9 illustrate the application of the theoretical results to problems of practical interest.

Problems for self-study are found in Chapters 3, 5, and 7.

The solutions to most of the problems are given in Appendix B.

The monograph is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students and teaching staff of technical universities.

It may also be useful for scientists and mechanical engineers working in a wide range of industries.

I wish to express my deep appreciation to my colleagues, Dr. S.A. Voronov and C.B. Danilenko, for their help in preparing the manuscript.
