Overview
Broadens practitioners' understanding of structural motion control, the enabling technology for motion-based design
Provides readers the tools to satisfy requirements of modern, ultra-high strength materials that lack corresponding stiffness, where the motion requirements control the design
Equips engineers and designers to adapt to more-excitable, contemporary structures that experience more structural motion under service loading
Explains the severe design constraints attending structures such as micro-device and semiconductor manufacturing centers in which the environment must be virtually motion free
Illustrates motion-based energy absorption mechanisms as a cost-effective alternative over inelastic deformation to dissipate energy and control structural response
