Mechanical Vibrations: An Introduction

This book presents a unified introduction to the theory of mechanical vibrations. The general theory of the vibrating particle is the point of departure for the field of multidegree of freedom systems. Emphasis is placed in the text on the issue of continuum vibrations. The presented examples are aimed at helping the readers with understanding the theory.
This book is of interest among others to mechanical, civil and aeronautical engineers concerned with the vibratory behavior of the struc...
