Finite Element Analysis of Rotating Beams Physics Based Interpolation / [electronic resource] : - 1st ed. 2017. - XII, 283 p. 108 illus., 19 illus. in color. | Binding - Card Paper | - Foundations of Engineering Mechanics, 1612-1384 . - Foundations of Engineering Mechanics, .

This book addresses the solution of rotating beam free-vibration problems using the finite element method. It provides an introduction to the governing equation of a rotating beam, before outlining the solution procedures using Rayleigh-Ritz, Galerkin and finite element methods. The possibility of improving the convergence of finite element methods through a judicious selection of interpolation functions, which are closer to the problem physics, is also addressed.   The book offers a valuable guide for students and researchers working on rotating beam problems – important engineering structures used in helicopter rotors, wind turbines, gas turbines, steam turbines and propellers – and their applications. It can also be used as a textbook for specialized graduate and professional courses on advanced applications of finite element analysis.
