Abstract: Closed-form solutions to differential eigenvalue problems associated with natural conservative systems, albeit self-adjoint, can be obtained in only a limited number of cases. Approximate solutions ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new modal analysis that permits the derivation of closed-form response of linear gyroscopic systems in a manner similar to that in which the classical modal analysis ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of actively suppressing the acoustic radiation pressure generated by an orthotropic plate vibrating in air. The approach is to control the vibration of ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of suppressing the acoustic radiation pressure generated by a structure vibrating in air. The approach is to control the vibration of the modes of the ...

Abstract: The suppression of the flutter instability of a suspension bridge by means of feedback control is studied. To this end, the mathematical model considered consists of the midsection of a bridge, assumed to be fixed at the ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of controlling the vibration of a distributed system with a support undergoing significant persistent motion. Because of practical considerations, the ...
