About this book

Mechanical Vibrations: Modeling and Measurement describes essential concepts in vibration analysis of mechanical systems. It incorporates the required mathematics, experimental techniques, fundamentals of model analysis, and beam theory into a unified framework that is written to be accessible to undergraduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers. To unify the various concepts, a single experimental platform is used throughout the text. Engineering drawings for the platform are included in an appendix. Additionally, MATLAB programming solutions are integrated into the content throughout the text.

About the authors

Professor Schmitz has been working in mechanical vibrations for well over 15 years and has developed methods to enable mechanical engineers to apply vibrations fundamentals to common industrial problems. In addition he has assembled extensive course notes, case studies, exercises, problem sets and developed MATLAB code. A complete solutions manual is available as well.
