Flow-Induced Vibrations

Safety of energy related systems is a crucial concern in power plants of all types, hydraulic power industries, chemical plants and many other areas. Flow-induced vibration can be a major cause of noise-induced fractures; this book explains how and why such vibrations happen and provides hints and tips on how to avoid them in future plant design, The book provides a strong knowledge network that links the concern of researchers, designers, manufacturers and plant maintenance workers. The authors fully explain the mathematical methods to provide the reader with information of the theory and basic of modeling. The book summarizers the fundamental knowledge and required design considerations, based on the authors' extensive experience in the field. Numerous practical examples are included alongside thorough explanations of structure and evaluation methods. It can be used for quick reference in the event of hazardous situations arising, and provides a solid basis for the development of new technology in the field.
