Textbook of Mechanical Vibrations

Designed as a text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering offering courses in mechanical vibrations, this comprehensive book covers both the mathematical and physical aspects of mechanical vibrations. The book examines the models and tools used in studying mechanical vibrations and the techniques employed for the development of solutions from a practical perspective. It uses minimum of mathematics so that the average reader - both students and practising engineers - can comprehend the subject with ease. To enable practical understanding of the subject, numerous solved and unsolved problems involving a wide range of practical situations are incorporated in every chapter.
