SynopsisExploring essential concepts in vibration analysis of mechanical systems, this text synthesizes the required mathematics, experimental techniques, fundamentals of model analysis, and beam theory into a unified framework accessible to undergraduate students., 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.
