A resource on vibration that imparts a deep physical as well as
mathematical understanding is critical to students who first encounter
the subject. Books with an overly mathematical focus can leave them without a grasp of the underlying physics
and mechanics. Those that attempt to be reader-friendly often
oversimplify the mathematics and mechanics, leaving them with a lack of
depth and unprepared for advanced
work and complex problems. With a carefully balanced approach,
Engineering Vibrations provides a systematic and unified treatment of
mechanical and structural vibrations along with rigorous yet
approachable mathematical development.
This text advances abstract
concepts from first principles. The author weaves together the physical
interpretation and fundamental principles with applied problem solving and uses illustrative examples and case studies
to reinforce the concepts, encourage effective interpretation of
results, and assist in learning the techniques and procedures.
Accompanied by more than 500 two- and three-dimensional drawings, the book offers tabulated results of case studies
and a table of operators of various one-dimensional continua. It also
contains problem-solving flowcharts for solving forced vibration
problems for discrete and continuous systems. For each class of system,
it explores the fundamental dynamics and studies free and forced
vibrations under various conditions.
