Non-Conservative Systems

Download or read book Non-Conservative Systems written by Kurt Ingerle and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Conservative Systems: New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria summarizes the essential properties of non-conservative elastic systems (static stability and post-critical behavior), and the importance of novel stability criteria for such systems. Beginning with the history of non-conservative systems theory, the text goes on to propose new theories regarding static stability in massless non-conservative systems, and dynamic stability in systems with mass. Experiments are included, as are computational models developed by the author, along with an extensive bibliography. This new work is a valuable new resource for those working in the area of structural stability.
