Vibration of Mechanical Systems

Synopsis

In This Textbook All The Basic Concepts In Mechanical Vibrations Are Clearly Identified And Presented In A Concise And Simple Manner With Illustrative And Practical Examples. Vibration Concepts Include A Review Of Selected Topics In Mechanics; A Description Of Single-degree-of-freedom (sdof) Systems In Terms Of Equivalent Mass, Equivalent Stiffness, And Equivalent Damping; A Unified Treatment Of Various Forced Response Problems (base Excitation And Rotating Balance); An Introduction To Systems Thinking, Highlighting The Fact That Sdof Analysis Is A Building Block For Multi-degree-of-freedom (mdof) And Continuous System Analyses Via Modal Analysis; And A Simple Introduction To Finite Element Analysis To Connect Continuous System And Mdof Analyses. There Are More Than 60 Exercise Problems, And A Complete Solutions Manual. The Use Of Matlab® Software Is Emphasised--,in This Book, All The Basic Concepts In Mechanical Vibrations Are Clearly Identified And Presented In A Concise And Simple Manner With Illustrative And Practical Examples.
