Active/passive vibration control and nonlinear dynamics of structures : presented at the 1997 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, November 16-21, 1997, Dallas, Texas

The results of two symposia. The first, represented by 11 papers, present current analytical, numerical, and experimental results in all aspects of passive, active, hybrid, and semi-active damping methods applied to controlling structural vibrations in engineering applications.
