Description:

Integrating the physical and mathematical aspects of vibration, this text emphasizes fundamental principles along with practical problem solving with a mathematically rigorous yet accessible approach. The author uses illustrative examples and case studies to reinforce the concepts, encourage effective interpretation of results, and assist in learning the techniques and procedures. The book includes more than 500 illustrations, including two- and three-dimensional drawings, along with tabulated results of case studies and a table of operators of various one-dimensional continua. It also offers problem-solving flowcharts for solving forced vibration problems for discrete and continuous…
