Mechanical Vibrations, 6e

Retaining the style of previous editions, this sixth SI edition of Mechanical Vibrations effectively presents theory, computational aspects and applications of vibration in a lucid manner. With an emphasis on computer techniques of analysis, it gives expanded explanations of the fundamentals, focusing on physical significance and interpretation that build upon students? previous experience. In this edition, 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. Features:1. Each topic is self-contained, with all concepts explained fully and the derivations presented with completedetails.2. Computational aspects are emphasized throughout the book. MATLAB-based examples as well as severalgeneral purpose MATLAB programs with illustrative examples are given in each chapter.3. The description and formulation of vibration problems in several different systems of units is considered toobtain the same response of the physical system.Pedagogy includes:34 design-project-type problems 55 MATLAB programs 252 illustrative examples988 review questions1214 problemsTable of Contents Chapter 1 Fundamentals of Vibration Chapter 2 Free Vibration of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems Chapter 3 Harmonically Excited Vibration Chapter 4 Vibration Under General Forcing ConditionsChapter 5 Two-Degree-of-Freedom Systems Chapter 6 Multidegree-of-Freedom Systems Chapter 7 Determination of Natural Frequencies and Mode ShapesChapter 8 Continuous Systems Chapter 9 Vibration Control Chapter 10 Vibration Measurement and ApplicationsChapter 11 Numerical Integration Methods in Vibration Analysis Chapter 12 Finite Element MethodChapter 13 Nonlinear VibrationChapter 14 Random Vibration.
