This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of research results and practical experience from various fields, offering guidelines for assessing sources of excitation in flow systems and identifying potential danger spots.

By classifying vibration phenomena into basic excitation mechanisms, engineers can identify all possible sources of excitation in a given system and find appropriate remedial measures or cures.

The book covers flow-induced vibrations in terms of their basic elements: body oscillators, fluid oscillators, and sources of excitation.

This unified approach is broad enough to permit treatment of the major excitation mechanism yet simple enough to be of practical use.

Whether you're an engineer looking for a comprehensive guide or a student seeking a detailed understanding of vibration phenomena, this book is an essential resource.
