"Advances on Analysis and Control of Vibrations: Theory and Applications" ed. by Mauricio Zapateiro de la Hoz and Francesc Pozo

This book is a compendium of research works on vibration analysis and control. It goes through new methodologies that help us understand and mitigate this phenomenon.

Vibration is a phenomenon that we can perceive in many systems. Their effects are as diverse as the personal discomfort that can produce the unevenness of a road or the collapse of a building or a bridge during an earthquake.
This book is divided into two sections. The first one is devoted to new advances on vibration analysis while the second part is a series of case studies that illustrate novel techniques on vibration control.
The applications are varied and include areas such as vehicle suspension systems, wind turbines and civil engineering structures.
