Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control

An ideal reference tool for practicing professionals who want a clearer understanding of the technical details of a design project, this book provides a thorough and in-depth discussion of basic vibration that offers real physical insights into the equations. Introducing advanced topics first qualitatively then mathematically, it offers extensive physical analyses, realistic example problems, and lists of mini-projects that lead readers to relevant literature in the discipline.Presents a detailed formulation of equations of motion and physical meanings, and provides interesting real- world examples to demonstrate how the theory applies to problems of concern in the industry.For vibration engineers, structural engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers and project engineers.
