Introduction to Mechanical Vibrations

[b]An in-depth introduction to the foundations of vibrations for students of mechanical engineering[/b] For students pursuing their education in Mechanical Engineering, [i]An Introduction to Mechanical Vibrations[/i] is a definitive resource. The text extensively covers foundational knowledge in the field and uses it to lead up to and include: finite elements, the inerter, Discrete Fourier Transforms, flow-induced vibrations, and self-excited oscillations in rail vehicles. The text aims to accomplish two things in a single, introductory, semester-length, course in vibrations. The primary goal is to present the basics of vibrations in a manner that promotes understanding a…
