Overview

  • Offers a simple overview of the theoretical background of Miles’ equation, and discusses it using several approaches
  • Applies real-world specifications for random and acoustical vibrations in the many practical examples
  • Makes all random response analyses very clear, so they can easily be repeated by the reader
  • Is useful in solving problems in the context of random vibrations in spacecraft-structure design

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications (SMIA, volume 248)

About this book

This book discusses the theory, applicability and numerous examples of Miles’ equation in detail. Random vibration is one of the main design drivers in the context of the design, development and verification of spacecraft structures, instruments, equipment, etc, and Miles’ equation provides a valuable tool for solving random vibration problems. It allows mechanical engineers to make rapid preliminary random response predictions when the (complex) structure is exposed to mechanical and acoustical loads. The book includes appendices to support the theory and applications in the main chapters.
