About this book

This fully revised and updated third edition covers the physical and mathematical fundamentals of vibration analysis, including single degree of freedom, multi-degree of freedom, and continuous systems. A new chapter on special topics that include motion control, impact dynamics, and nonlinear dynamics is added to the new edition. In a simple and systematic manner, the book presents techniques that can easily be applied to the analysis of vibration of mechanical and structural systems. Suitable for a one-semester course on vibrations, the book presents the new concepts in simple terms and explains procedures for solving problems in considerable detail. It contains numerous exercises, examples and end-of-chapter problems.
