Wavelet Methods for Dynamical Problems 'With Application to Metallic, Composite, and Nano-Composit

Explaining wavelet transform from a mechanical engineering perspective, this book discusses the numerical solution of structural dynamics and wave propagation problems using wavelet transform methods. After an introduction to signal processing aspects, the text examines the implementation of wavelet transform for simulating the response of a dynamical system and then discusses the development of a wavelet-based simulation scheme for wave propagation analysis. The chapters also address wave propagation analysis of carbon nanotubes and the application of wave propagation studies for structural health monitoring, force identification, and control of wave transmission.
