Mechanical Vibrations

The book serves as an introduction to the subject Mechanical Vibrations. It is the study of oscillatory motions. The study of Mechanical vibrations is vital for engineers as it has both useful and harmful effects. Extreme vibrations may cause destruction to buildings and rapid damage to machine parts and also causes uneasiness and discomfort to human beings. Resonance may also lead to the shutdown of machines. Hence, the determination of the natural frequencies of a system is a must. So, the knowledge of mechanical vibration is vital for a design engineer as it is a basic requirement for mechanical, civil, automobile and aeronautical engineering students and practitioners.
