Title overview

For courses in vibration engineering

Retaining the style of previous editions, this edition of Mechanical Vibrations effectively presents theory, computational aspects, and applications of vibration, introducing undergraduate engineering students to the subject of vibration engineering in as simple a manner as possible. Emphasising computer techniques of analysis, Mechanical Vibrations thoroughly explains the fundamentals of vibration analysis, building on the understanding achieved by students in previous undergraduate mechanics courses. Related concepts are discussed, and real-life applications, examples, problems, and illustrations related to vibration analysis enhance comprehension of all concepts and material. 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.
