Preface
This book is a compilation of some selected articles devoted to the analysis and control
of vibrations. Vibrations are a phenomenon found in many engineering systems; their
harmful effects are translated into low performance, noise, energy misspend,
discomfort and system breakdown, among others. These are the reasons why, in the
last years, researchers have made great efforts in seeking ways to eliminate them
totally or partially.
The subject of vibrations has been studied for a long time. Although a wide variety of
practical solutions to this problem have been found so far, several problems remain
still open. Complex in nature, the ideal solution to vibration mitigation goes hand in
hand with technologies that can also be mathematically and physically complex. With
the advent of new technologies, sophisticated damping devices that greatly help in
this work have been developed too. However, in order to make them perform
optimally, new theoretical tools and deep understanding of their dynamics are
required; that is why nowadays great efforts are made in this sense in this branch of
the science.
This book goes through some of the most recent advances in the analysis and control
of vibrations. On the one hand, some chapters bring out novel theoretical
developments on the analysis of vibrations; on the other hand, other chapters reveal
specific applications in areas as diverse as, for instance, vehicle suspension systems,
vehicle-engine-body systems, wind turbines for energy production and civil
engineering structures. These pages take us up to different classical, yet effective
control methodologies, as the researchers build new theories and applications upon
them.
The works on vibration analysis presented in this book stand out for their
thoroughness in presenting the theoretical developments in order to further develop
new control methodologies from these new bases. Case studies, on the other hand,
stand out because they report the obtention of control systems of practical
implementation; in most cases, these controllers feature an exquisite simplicity and
outstanding performance ratings. These papers therefore set down a combination of
rigor and simplicity which are desirable aspects in engineering.
X Preface
This book is not intended to be a comprehensive compendium of papers on analysis
and control of vibrations. However, it can become a reference for those who are
getting started in this field as well as for those who already have gained experience in
it. Here you will find recent developments in this regard and in addition, each chapter
leads to a series of related references, making this book an important source of state of
the art titles on the subject at the time this book was edited.
Lastly, we the editors, want to render thanks to the authors of each chapter for the
endeavor to their preparation; this book has been possible thanks to them.
