Advanced Mechanical Vibration

Modeling, analysis, and simulation--everything vibration engineering students need to succeed, including late-breaking advances in this ever-changing field

Advanced Mechanical Vibration covers modeling and analysis of vibrating systems with damping and gyroscopic effects, dynamics of combined distributed-lumped systems, and approximate methods for solutions of complex vibration problems, which are often overlooked in other such textbooks. Case studies and pre-coded MATLAB toolboxes for vibration analysis and simulation help readers understand and retain the most important concepts.

This is an ideal text for an upper undergraduate or graduate course in vibration engineering.
