Overview

Engineering Vibration is a thorough introduction to vibration analysis, design, measurement, and computation. It connects traditional design-oriented topics, an introduction of modal analysis and the use of computational codes with MATLAB®. Special-interest windows summarize essential background information pertinent to the topic discussed so you don't have to search for formulas. Additional design, measurement and computation topics help you develop a dynamic understanding of vibration phenomena and connect theory to practice.

The 5th Edition is updated with new examples, problems, figures, equations, enhanced problem statements and a new units and conversion appendix. All MATLAB code has been updated to 2020 standards.
