Overview

Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control simply and comprehensively addresses the fundamental principles of vibration theory, emphasizing its application in solving practical engineering problems. The authors focus on strengthening engineers’ command of mathematics as a cornerstone for understanding vibration, control, and the ways in which uncertainties affect analysis. It provides a detailed exploration and explanation of the essential equations involved in modeling vibrating systems and shows readers how to employ MATLAB^® as an advanced tool for analyzing specific problems.

Forgoing the extensive and in-depth analysis of randomness and control found in more specialized texts, this straightforward, easy-to-follow volume presents the format, content, and depth of description that the authors themselves would have found useful when they first learned the subject. The authors assume that the readers have a basic knowledge of dynamics, mechanics of materials, differential equations, and some knowledge of matrix algebra. Clarifying necessary mathematics, they present formulations and explanations to convey significant details.

The material is organized to afford great flexibility regarding course level, content, and usefulness in self-study for practicing engineers or as a text for graduate engineering students. This work includes example problems and explanatory figures, biographies of renowned contributors, and access to a website providing supplementary resources. These include an online MATLAB primer featuring original programs that can be used to solve complex problems and test solutions.

Editorial Reviews

"… 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. Mace, Professor of Structural Dynamics, University of Southampton, THE AERONAUTICAL JOURNAL FEBRUARY 2012

From the Publisher

This textbook is intended for a two-semester sequence in which the first class is undergraduate and the second is graduate. The book covers several aspects of single degree of freedom vibration, including discrete modeling with and without damping, probabilistic models of forces, and control. Other topics include the principle of virtual work and Lagrange's equation, multi degree of freedom vibration, and continuous models for vibration. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
