Mechanical vibrations

KEY BENEFITRetaining the style of previous editions, thisSixth EditionofMechanical Vibrationseffectively presents theory, computational aspects, and applications of vibration, introducing readers to the subject of vibration engineering in as simple a manner as possible. Emphasizing computer techniques of analysis,Mechanical Vibrationsthoroughly explains the fundamentals of vibration analysis, building on readers' existing understanding of engineering. Related concepts are discussed, and real-life applications, examples, problems, and illustrations related to vibration analysis enhance comprehension of all concepts and material. In theSixth Edition, several additions and revisions have been made--including new examples, problems, and illustrations--with the goal of making coverage of concepts both more comprehensive and easier to follow.KEY TOPICSFundamentals of Vibration; Free Vibration of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems; Harmonically Excited Vibration; Vibration Under General Forcing Conditions; Two-Degree-of-Freedom Systems; Multidegree-of-Freedom Systems; Determination of Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes; Continuous Systems; Vibration Control; Vibration Measurement and Applications; Numerical Integration Methods in Vibration Analysis; Finite Element Method; Nonlinear Vibration; Random VibrationMARKETFor anyone interested in vibration engineering.
