Description:Structural Dynamics and Renewable Energy, Volume 1 embraces the topics of structural dynamics and renewable energy, breaking them down into more than 50 categories. The topics covered include shock and vibration, damping in solids, nonlinear modeling, structural health modeling, structural dynamics, and rotating machinery. This the first volume of the five-volume set of Proceedings of the 28th IMAC, A Conference on Structural Dynamics, 2010. This book brings together 34 total chapters on Structural Dynamics and Renewable Energy, and is a part of the Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series .
