Inverse Problems in Vibration
Inverse Problems in Vibration by G. M. L. Gladwell provides a focused and rigorous examination of inverse problem techniques applied to vibration analysis of structures and mechanical systems. The book explores how to determine unknown system properties—such as stiffness, mass distribution, damping characteristics, and boundary conditions—by using measured vibration data like natural frequencies and mode shapes. Emphasizing both theoretical foundations and numerical solution methods, Gladwell discusses regularization, stability of solutions, and practical algorithms for tackling ill-posed inverse problems. Serving as a key reference for researchers and engineers, this work bridges concepts from applied mathematics, structural dynamics, and computational mechanics to enable effective diagnostics and model updating in engineering practice.
