ABSTRACT
Numerous examples can be drawn from engineering applications for vibrating (dynamic) systems.
A steam generator of a nuclear power plant that undergoes flow-induced vibration; a high-rise building
subjected to seismic motions at its foundation; an incinerator tower subjected to aerodynamic
disturbances; an airplane excited by atmospheric turbulence; a gate valve under manual operation; and a
heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) control panel stressed due to vibrations in its support
structure are such examples.
