Description
Book SynopsisCovering the whole spectrum of vibration theory and itsapplications in both civil and mechanical engineering, Mechanicaland Structural Vibrations provides the most comprehensive treatmentof the subject currently available. Based on the author s manyyears of experience in both academe and industry, it is designed tofunction equally well as both a day-to-day working resource forpracticing engineers and a superior upper-level undergraduate orgraduate-level text.
Features a quick-reference format that, Mechanical and StructuralVibrations gives engineers instant access to the specific theory orapplication they need. Saves valuable time ordinarily spent wadingthrough unrelated or extraneous material. And, while they arethoroughly integrated throughout the text, applications to bothcivil and mechanical engineering are organized into sections thatpermit the reader to reference only the material germane to his orher field.
