Flow-induced Vibrations: an Engineering Guide —— IAHR Hydraulic Structures Design Manuals 7

Great reference for practical problems in industry.

"Flow-induced Vibrations" is constructed as an engineering guide primarily based on research sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation located in Hannover, Germany. There are a staggering number of different disciplines and approaches to this subject, and from my own perspective this is one of the best guides published. The work is detailed, logically organized (on purpose), and is the most impressively illustrated work of its kind in print. Explanations are clear and crisp but do not leave the reader hanging either. The math used is first year calculus and can be understood by the average graduate engineer. This is not your treatise on fluid dynamics; it is clearly specific to vibrational analyses induced by fluid flow; air, water, or other. I am most pleased with owning a book of this quality and detail.

Bought this to try and work out why some sluice gates were vibrating and not closing. This pointed me in the direction of other texts. Whislt not helpful for my immediate problem, this book covers a host of vibration mechanisms and will be of great help in future design work. An understanding of fluid mechanics is required to make the most if this guide.

Covers the main topics and provides many examples, bringing together a wealth of information from diverse sources. Structured approach gets the reader thinking about how to apply the principles learned to problems not covered directly.

Very good quick reference at a very competitive price!

One of the finest books on practical problems faced by the industry on fluid structure interaction
