Advanced Vibrations : Theory and Application (Second edition)

Now in an updated new edition, this textbook explains mechanical vibrations concepts in detail, concentrating on their practical use.

This second edition includes the new chapter Multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) Time Response, as well as new sections covering superposition, music and vibrations, generalized coordinates and degrees-of-freedom, and first-order systems.

Related theorems and formal proofs are provided, as are real-life applications.

Students, researchers, and practicing engineers alike will appreciate the user-friendly presentation of a wealth of topics, including practical optimization for designing vibration isolators and transient and harmonic excitations.

Advanced Vibrations: Theory and Application is an ideal text for students of engineering, designers, and practicing engineers.
