A thorough introduction to vibration analysis, design, measurement and computation

Engineering Vibration connects traditional design-oriented topics, an introduction of modal analysis and the use of computational codes with MATLAB®. Special-interest windows summarize essential information. Additional design, measurement and computation topics help students develop a dynamic understanding of vibration phenomena and connect theory to practice.

The 5th Edition is updated with new examples, problems, figures, equations, enhanced problem statements and a new units and conversion appendix. All MATLAB code has been updated to 2020 standards.

Hallmark features of this title

  • MATLAB codes within the text help students gain a dynamic understanding of vibration phenomena as they conduct and explore vibration analysis using modern software tools.
  • The use of computational codes helps students develop skills required by industry, satisfying ABET criteria.
  • Special-interest windows summarize essential background information pertinent to the topic discussed so students don't have to search for formulas or other information.
  • A chapter on design for vibration suppression helps students put vibration analysis into practice by learning how to use vibration theory to design systems, structures and devices.
  • Almost every topic contains design-related examples and discussions to help students relate design and analysis.

New and updated features of this title

  • UPDATED: MATLAB code conforms to 2020 standards and several codes have been added to example problems.
  • NEW/UPDATED: Examples, equations and enhanced problem statements clarify content and give students more opportunities to apply what they have learned.
  • NEW/UPDATED: 38 new problems have been added and 20 problems have been modified for clarity and numerical changes.
  • NEW/UPDATED: 29 new figures have been added and several figures have been modified.
  • NEW/UPDATED: Topics reflect recent advances in vibration technology. A new section 5.8 on approximation and scaling is included. Section 5.3 on vibration absorbers has been completely rewritten to reflect current information.
  • NEW: Appendix G, “Units and Conversions,” helps students recognize the importance of being able to switch between U.S. Customary vs SI units as the globalization of engineering increases.
