Theory of Vibro-Impact Systems and Applications

Models of vibro-impact systems are widely used in machine dynamics, vibration engineering, and structural mechanics. - Only monograph on this subject in English language. - Systematically presents the theory of vibro-impact systems by analysis of typical engineering applications. - Experimental data and computer simulations are presented. - Targeted to engineers and researchers in design and investigation of mechanical systems as well as to lecturers and advanced students.
