Description

Starting from the basic principles of analytical dynamics, this book provides a comprehensive and unified approach to the theory of vibration in the context of structural analysis and the fundamentals of dynamic response analysis. Although emphasis is placed on the computational methods, the mathematical and mechanical aspects underlying structural behaviour are raised. Examples, figures and simple flowcharts clearly explain the concepts and theory behind mechanical vibrations. This new edition, fully revised and updated in the light of recent advances, provides the state-of-the-art in an accessible style.

Description

This comprehensive work contains innovative material not often found in previous textbooks such as vibrations induced by non--zero initial conditions for systems with stable equilibrium and vibrations generated by conservative rotating systems. Also discusses characteristic phase--lag theory.
