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.
- Includes both analytical and numerical methods for vibration analysis
- Addresses the latest developments in this fast-changing field
- Prepares the student and professional for advanced R&D
- Includes chapter-ending questions with faculty-only answer key, multiple case studies, and MATLAB toolkit for simulations
- SI units are used with a table converting to US
