Vibrations of Mechanical Systems

Taking a revolutionary approach to a fascinating topic, this fully updated second edition of VIBRATIONS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS introduces vibration concepts through motivating design problems. The second edition is enhanced by a pedagogically sound two-color design and is packed with new and updated computer tools, simulations, figures, and practical examples that enhance understanding of vibration theory, its mathematics, and its relevance to engineering. Senior undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and practicing engineers will gain from the strong background in the theory and practice of vibrational analysis and design they need for success in a career in mechanical, aerospace, naval, biomedical, or structural engineering.
