Mechanical Vibration : Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, 4th Edition

Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, Fourth Edition addresses the principles and application of vibration theory. Equations for modeling vibrating systems are explained, and MATLAB® is referenced as an analysis tool. The Fourth Edition adds more coverage of damping, new case studies, and development of the control aspects in vibration analysis. A MATLAB appendix has also been added to help students with computational analysis. This work includes example problems and explanatory figures, biographies of renowned contributors, and access to a website providing supplementary resources.

• Includes more extensive coverage of damping
• Uses biographical sections to show the development of vibration analysis
• Offers a MATLAB appendix to help students with computational analysis
• Includes strong coverage of probability, uncertainty, and controls
