Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis and Control

An elegant and accessible exploration of the fundamentals of the analysis and control of vibration in structures from a wave standpoint

In Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis and Control, Professor Chunhui Mei delivers an expert discussion of the wave analysis approach (as opposed to the modal-based approach) to mechanical vibrations in structures. The book begins with deriving the equations of motion using the Newtonian approach based on various sign conventions...
