Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses important practical aspects of nonlinear vibration analysis. It presents cases of considerable interest for researchers and practical engineers, such as rotor dynamics and torsional vibration of engines. The book can be used as both a reference and a graduate-level text, as it develops the subject from its foundations and contains problems and solutions for each chapter.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Giancarlo Genta has been a professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the Technical University of Torino since the 1970s. He is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics and of the 'Accademia delle Scienze di Torino' and received the International Academy of Astronautics' Engineering Science Award for outstanding achievements in engineering science, the Yangel Medal for outstanding contributions to the development of the international space sciences and technologies, and the International Academy of Astronautics' Book Award for his book 'Introduction to the Mechanics of Space Robots' (Springer 2012). At present he coordinates all courses in automotive engineering and the PhD course in Mechatronics. He has published 87 papers in Italian, American and English Journals and 245 papers presented to symposia on topics like structural dynamics, space systems and robotics. He is the author of various books on: motor vehicle mechanics, automotive design and automotive history (published in Italian and English), machine design, design with composite materials, the mechanics of vibration, kinetic energy storage (published in England and translated into Russian), and on vibration and the dynamics of rotating systems (both published in the USA). His books on motor vehicle mechanics and the mechanics of vibration are used as textbooks at some American universities. He has also published two popular science books on the prospects of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and recently a novel for the Springer series 'Science and Fiction.' A new novel is due to be published in the same series in 2015.
