Theory of Elastic Oscillations: Equations and Methods

This book presents in detail an alternative approach to solving problems involving both linear and nonlinear oscillations of elastic distributed parameter systems. It includes the so-called variational, projection and iterative gradient methods, which, when applied to nonlinear problems, use the procedure of linearization of the original non-linear equations.

These methods are not universal and require a different solution for each problem or class of problems.However, in many cases the comb...
