Product Description This text, which is intended to follow the author's Theory of Vibration: An Introduction, aims to further the understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the theory of vibration and its applications, here focusing on discrete and continuous systems. As in the previous volume, the text develops the techniques used to analyze vibrations in mechanical and structural systems from their foundations rationally and in clearly understandable stages. Intended for a graduate course in the theory of vibration, the explanations of procedures and details are easily understandable by students. A new chapter on computer methods for the eigenvalue problem has been added for this edition; it includes discussions of the similarity transformation, generalized eigenvectors, the Jacobi method, the Householder transformation, and QR decomposition. | ||

A very good book to understand vibration The book is one of many Dr. Shabana has published. As in all his books, his clear presentation of the idea as well as the mathematical derivation of the exact solutions. The books covers grounds in the topic of vibration without getting detatched from the physics of the problem. I had Meirovich's books, but I sold them used after getting Shabana's. | ||
