De Silva C.W. Vibration: Fundamentals and Practice

CRC Press, 2000. - 957 pp., OCR.This book provides the background and techniques that will allow successful modeling, analysis, monitoring, testing, design, modification, and control of vibration in engineering systems. It is suitable as both a course textbook for students and instructors, and a practical reference tool for engineers and other professionals. As a textbook, it can be used in a single-semester course for third-year (junior) and fourth-year (senior) undergraduate students, or for Master’s level graduate students in any branch of engineering such as aeronautical and aerospace, civil, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering. But, in view of the practical considerations, design issues, experimental techniques, and instrumentation that are presented throughout the book, and in view of the simplified and snapshot-style presentation of fundamentals and advanced theory, the book will also serve as a valuable reference tool for engineers, technicians, and other professionals in industry and in research laboratories.
