Handbook of Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design - Eugene I. Rivin - Bog

This expanded and fully updated Handbook contains new results and adds some significant modifications, most notably a new section on "Negative Stiffness and Damping," which is critical for understanding dynamic processes in mechanical systems. The book will be useful for practicing engineers working in the field of machine design, design of machine elements, machine dynamics, mechatronics, robotics and precision engineering. It will also be a useful reference for educators, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
