Summary

Summary

The text is richly illustrated, lightly written and more wide-ranging than Volume 1. A comprehensive treatment of fluid-structure interactions involving axial flow and slender structures, such as piping, human veins, aircraft, nuclear reactor fuel and submarine skins. The emphasis is on fundamentals, particularly on the physical understanding and underlying mechanisms, as well as on applications.

This book will be invaluable for researchers, professional engineers, applied scientists and students involved in the design, study or operation or systems involving fluid flow, internal or external structures, wind or ocean currents

Emphasizes real-world analysis of problems encountered in the field and presents their solutions

A practical and thorough literature review of over 1400 references, an excellent reference document

Bridges the gap between academic researchers and practitioners in industry


Author Notes

Michael Païdoussis is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Academy of Mechanics (AAM). He is the Editor of the Journal of Fluids and Structures, having founded it in 1986, and won the ASME International Fluids Engineering Award in1999. His principal research interests are in fluid-structure interactions, flow-induced vibrations, aero- and hydroelasticity, dynamics, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, all areas in which he is recognized as a leading expert.
