An introduction to the analytical tools used to study the vibrations of structures

exposed to a fluid flow is provided. Models used to analyze vortex-induced

vibrations, galloping vibrations and stall flutter, vibrations induced by an
oscillating flow, and vibrations induced by turbulence are outlined, together with
approaches used to investigate instabilities of tube rows and arrays and sound
induced by vortex shedding. The damping of structures and the motion of a ship in a
seaway are examined. Appendices describe some unsolved problems in the theoretical
analysis of fluid-flow vibration and provide a review of vibrations of continuous
structures.
