This book serves as an introduction to the subject of vibration engineering at the under graduate level. The style of the prior editions has been retained, with the theory, computtional aspects, and applications of vibrations presented in as simple a manner as possible. In this edition. Computer techniques of analysis are emphasized explanations of the fundamentals are given, emphaiszing physical significance and interpretation that build upon previous experiences in undergraduate mechanics. Numerous examples and problems are used to illustrate principlesd and concepts.
