Dynamic Stability and Bifurcation in Nonconservative Mechanics (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences, 586). Questo articolo non è disponibile.Dynamic Stability and Bifurcation in Nonconservative Mechanics (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences, 586)

Addresses stability, dynamics and bifuration in both non-conservative and non-holonomic mechanical systems
Proposes a unique combination of modern mathematical techniques motivated by a broad variety of practical applications
Presents best research and teaching practices from top universitites and research institutions

The book offers a unified view on classical results and recent advances in the dynamics of nonconservative systems. The theoretical fundamentals are presented systematically and include: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, non-holonomic constraints, Lyapunov stability theory, Krein theory of spectra of Hamiltonian systems and modes of negative and positive energy, anomalous Doppler effect, reversible systems, sensitivity analysis of non-self-adjoint operators, dissipation-induced instabilities, local and global instabilities. They are applied to engineering situations such as the coupled mode flutter of wings, flags and pipes, flutter in granular materials, piezoelectric mechanical metamaterials, wave dynamics of infinitely long structures, radiative damping, stability of high-speed trains, experimental realization of follower forces, soft-robot locomotion, wave energy converters, friction-induced instabilities, brake squeal, non-holonomic sailing, dynamics of moving continua, and stability of bicycles and walking robots.
