ReviewsThe need that this (book) addresses is, in my opinion, a fresh and constant look at high performance systems where nonlinear phenomena are important and become more and more critical in many engineering applications., The book explores new advances in vibration technology, and at the same time keeps the traditional values of vibration theories. The integration of standard course materials with computer software will prepare the student to adapt to recent dramatic changes in the engineering computing environment, and allow the student to get access to the physics of more complicated or more practical problems, and not to just limit himself/herself to the few classroom examples.

SynopsisFeaturing outstanding coverage of linear and non-linear single degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, this book teaches the use of vibration principles in a broad spectrum of applications. In this introduction for undergraduate students, authors Balakumar Balachandran and Edward B. Magrab present vibration principles in a general context and illustrate the use of these principles through carefully chosen examples from different disciplines. Their balanced approach integrates principles of linear and nonlinear vibrations with modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement so that physical understanding of the vibratory phenomena and their relevance for engineering design can be emphasized. The authors also provide design guidelines that are applicable to a wide range of vibratory systems.
