About this book

The main goal of this book is to show how to modify and optimize the properties of the damping matrix in order to find the most beneficial way of adding damping to a given mechanical system. To this end, a two-degree-of-freedom model of disc brake is analyzed to gain insight into the fundamental physical behavior of damping. In addition, more realistic, high-dimensional finite element brake models are studied and optimized for stability.

Reviews

“In this book, a Taylor expansion yields the linearized equations of motion, which generate an eigenvalue problem for eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. … This book can be useful to engineers, researchers and postgraduate students.” (V. Leontiev, zbMATH 1380.74002, 2018)
