Principles and Techniques of Vibrations

THISBOOK WILL BE OF INTEREST TO MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, AEROSPACE ENGINEERS, AND ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND MECHANICS FACULTY. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK IS TO PRESENT A MATHEMATICALLY RIGOROUS APPROACH TO VIBRATIONS, ONE THAT NOT ONLY PERMITS EFFICIENT FORMULATIONS AND SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS, BUT ALSO ENHANCES UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICS OF THE PROBLEM. THE BOOK TAKES A VERY BROAD VIEW APPROACH TO THE SUBJECT SO THAT THE SIMILARITY OF DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF VIBRATING SYSTEMS WILL BE UNDERSTOOD.
