Advanced Mechanical Vibration: Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation, 1st Edition ✓ Most Recent [ Active ]

An Essential Resource in Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation

This comprehensive, balanced textbook covers modeling and analysis of vibrating systems with damping and gyroscopic effects, dynamics of combined distributed-lumped systems, and approximate methods for solutions of complex vibration problems, which are often overlooked in textbooks. The author presents both the Newtonian approach and the Lagrangian approach to modeling of mechanical systems characterized by lumped and distributed parameters.

Advanced Mechanical Vibration provides helpful case studies, questions at the end of the chapters, and five associated toolboxes (sets) of computer codes written in MATLAB, for vibration analysis of lumped parameter systems, bars, shafts, strings, beams, membranes, and plates. The toolboxes serve as valuable learning aids and interactive computing references for engineering students and professionals.
