Modelling of Mechanical Systems: Fluid-Structure Interaction

Written by an eminent authority in the field, Modelling of Mechanical Systems: Fluid-Structure Interaction is the third in a series of four self-contained volumes suitable for practitioners, academics and students alike in engineering, physical sciences and applied mechanics.

The series skilfully weaves a theoretical and pragmatic approach to modelling mechanical systems and to analysing the responses of these systems.

The study of fluid-structure interactions in this third volume covers the coupled dynamics of solids and fluids, restricted to the case of oscillatory motions about a state of static equilibrium.

Physical and mathematical aspects of modelling these mechanisms are described in depth and illustrated by numerous worked out exercises.
