Klappentext The third edition of Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control provides a more effective treatment of modeling. New chapters address the modeling of mechanical system components, especially different damping models, as well as numerical methods in vibrations. Suitable for both undergraduate and graduate course in vibrations, this comprehensive text also expands coverage of control, data and testing, kinematics and dynamics, as well as MATLAB(TM). An accompanying CD-ROM includes files for MATLAB examples and applications. Like its predecessors, this book presents self-contained chapters that allow for flexibility of topic coverage and the option to present advanced topics. "... this book stands out in a number of ways. ... the book is more enjoyable to read than most. It contains numerous biographical summaries of the lives and achievements of famous people in the field, footnotes providing background information, sometimes from quite diverse branches of science, and material describing the practical problems faced by the engineer, with descriptions and pictures of applications. All these make the text readable. Finally the prose is written in a somewhat informal and often amusing style, in the first person, which also improves its readability, although perhaps a bit verbose in places." --Professor B.
