Constraints like undisturbed traffic flow, limited access possibilities and finally limited or even shrinking budgets have led to a development of an assessment model well fitted to the construction sector. Ambient vibration monitoring, which provides the opportunity to obtain useful data under ambient conditions for the assessment of structures and components, is the backbone of structural assessment monitoring and control. Nevertheless there is little available on this subject for the practising engineer. This book enables the practising engineer to learn about this fascinating area and gain information on practical applications. "Ambient Vibration Monitoring" describes current ambient vibration methodologies along with direct information on applicable solutions, and includes: Years of pioneering practical research collated into one book. Real-world applications with practical solutions. This book will be of interest to all engineers engaged in structural assessment monitoring and control, and provides a useful tool for students of structural dynamics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and related fields. |

| Publisher Description: In-operation vibration monitoring for complex mechanical structures and rotating machines is of key importance in many industrial areas such as aeronautics (wings and other structures subject to strength), automobile (gearbox mounting with a sports car body), rail transportation, power engineering (rotating machines, core and pipes of nuclear power plants), and civil engineering (large buildings subject to hurricanes or earthquakes, bridges, dams, offshore structures). Tools for the detection and the diagnosis of small changes in vibratory characteristics are particularly useful to set up a preventive maintenance policy based on the actual evolution of the state of the monitored machine or structure, as opposed to systematic a priori planning. Ambient Vibration Monitoring is the backbone of such structural assessment monitoring and control. It provides the possibility to gain useful data under ambient conditions for the assessment of structures and components. Written by a widely respected authority in this area, Ambient Vibration Monitoring describes the current practice of ambient vibration methodologies illustrated by a number of practical examples. Designed to aid the practical engineer with their understanding of the topic, it is the culmination of many years of practical research and includes numerous 'real world' examples. It also provides information on applicable solutions. This book will enable not only practitioners (in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering), but also researchers and students, to learn more about the theory and practical applications of this subject. |
