Download or read book Miles' Equation in Random Vibrations written by Jaap Wijker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
