Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, Third Edition (Mechanical Engineering (Marcell Dekker))

The third edition of Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control provides a more effective treatment of modeling. New chapters address the modeling of mechanical system components, especially different damping models, as well as numerical methods in vibrations. Suitable for both undergraduate and graduate course in vibrations, this comprehensive text also expands coverage of control, data and testing, kinematics and dynamics, as well as MATLAB™. An accompanying CD-ROM includes files for MATLAB examples and applications. Like its predecessors, this book presents self-contained chapters that allow for flexibility of topic coverage and the option to present advanced topics.
