Vibration of Periodic Structures

Vibration of Periodic Structures is a book that explains the fundamentals of periodic structure theory by considering wave propagation in an infinitely long periodic spring-mass system. It also extends the concepts to wave propagation in infinitely long periodically supported beams and plates, vibration of skin-stringer structures, and structural acoustic properties of an aircraft fuselage. It is a valuable resource for practicing engineers and researchers in various industries, including civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, and can help predict supersonic flutter characteristics of aerospace structures.

Vibration of Periodic Structures delves into the foundational principles of periodic structure theory, commencing with the exploration of wave propagation within an infinitely long periodic spring-mass system. It subsequently demonstrates how the understanding of stop and pass bands can be employed to determine the natural frequency distribution within finite periodic structures. These fundamental concepts are then expanded to encompass wave propagation in infinitely long periodically supported beams and plates, the distribution of natural frequencies in similar structures of finite length, the vibration of skin-stringer structures, and the structural acoustic properties of a section of an aircraft fuselage. Accompanied by a blend of the finite element method and periodic structure theory, this approach offers a highly cost-effective means of analyzing these structures.

This book serves as an invaluable resource for practicing engineers across diverse industries, such as civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, who are engaged in the study of vibration in structures with periodic properties. It provides valuable insights into predicting supersonic flutter characteristics of aerospace structures, making it an essential addition to personal and institutional libraries.

Prof. Earl Dowell, from Duke University in Durham, NC, USA, has praised this treatment as accessible, stimulating, and deserving of placement in personal and institutional libraries.
