Retaining the style of previous editions, this sixth SI edition of Mechanical Vibrations effectively presents theory,computational aspects, and applications of vibration in a lucid manner. With an emphasis on computer techniques of analysis, it gives expanded explanations of the fundamentals, focusing on physical significance and interpretation that build upon students' previous experience.
In this edition, several additions and revisions have been made—including new examples, problems, and illustrations—with the goal of making coverage of concepts both more comprehensive and easier to follow. "
