Mechanical Vibrations in Spacecraft Design

All typical and special modal and response analysis methods, applied within the frame of the design of spacecraft structures, are described in this book. It therefore addresses graduate students and engineers in the aerospace field.

Most dynamic aspects of mechanical vibration, used within the frame of the design of spacecraft and structures, are brought together in one book Contains exercises and solutions at the end of the chapters Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
