Description

Book Synopsis
This 1960 book aims primarily to provide an insight into the vibration characteristics of a machine or structure rather than to present a recipe for formal calculations. Classical theory is developed by starting from the concept of steady forced motion and then introducing free motion as a limiting case.

Table of Contents
Preface; General notation; 1. Introduction; 2. Generalized co-ordinates and Lagrange's equations; 3. Systems having any finite number of degrees of freedom; 4. The taut string; 5. The analysis of real systems, approximate methods; 6. Torsional and longitudinal vibration of uniform shafts and bars; 7. Flexural vibration of uniform beams; 8. Viscous damping; 9. Hysteretic damping; 10. Free vibration; 11. Non-harmonic transient vibration; Answers to examples; Index.
