Vibration and Dynamic Analysis

Vibration and Dynamic Analysis is a research topic within Control and Systems Engineering. Science Explorer counts 55k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the analysis and control of axially moving dynamics, including vibration analysis, nonlinear dynamics, and stability analysis of fluid-conveying pipes, cable dynamics, and viscoelastic beams. It also explores parametric resonance, dynamic response, and various control strategies for systems with axially moving components.
