Help students apply theory and research to practice

MATLAB codes integrated within the text help students gain a dynamic understanding of vibration phenomena as they conduct and explore vibration analysis using modern software tools.
- UPDATED - All MATLAB codes have been updated to 2020 standards and several codes have been added to example problems.
- The use of computational codes helps students develop skills required by industry, satisfying ABET criteria. This also allows early introduction to nonlinear vibration.
Special-interest windows are placed throughout the text to summarize essential information and call out topics where students will need to apply prior or background material they've previously learned.
- Windows help remind students of information pertinent to the text material at hand, so they don't have to flip back to previous chapters or consult a reference text for formulas or other information.
NEW/UPDATED - Thirty new examples that clarify concepts and enhanced problem statements have been added, and ten examples have been modified to improve clarity.
NEW/UPDATED - Thirty-eight new problems have been added and 20 problems have been modified for clarity and numerical changes.
NEW/UPDATED - Twenty-nine new figures have been added and several previous figures have been modified.
NEW - Six new equations have been added.
Examines topics that reflect some of the recent advances in vibration technology, ABET criteria, and the importance of both engineering design and modal analysis.
- Chapter 5, "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.
- Topics on design, measurement, and computation are included.
- NEW/UPDATED - Improved clarity is provided in explanations in 27 different passages in the text based on user and reviewer feedback.
- NEW - A new section on approximation and scaling (5.8) has been added.
- UPDATED - Section 5.3 on vibration absorbers has been completely rewritten to reflect current information.
NEW - A 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. Engineers in the U.S. need to work in SI to be competitive in this increasingly international work place and non-U.S. engineers need to learn to communicate and translate between systems of units.

Also available digitally as a Pearson eText
NEW - Pearson eText is an easy-to-use digital textbook that students can purchase on their own or you can assign for your course. Creating a course allows you to personalize your Pearson eText so students see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class, motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.

Benefits of creating a Pearson eText course

Share highlights and notes with students. Add your personal teaching style to important topics, call out need-to-know information, or clarify difficult concepts directly in the eText.
Access reading analytics. Use the dashboard to gain insight into how students are working in their eText to plan more effective instruction in and out of class.
Customize and schedule readings. Rearrange the Pearson eText table of contents at both the chapter and section level to match the way you teach. Add due dates so that students know exactly what to read to come to class prepared.
Read online or offline. Download the mobile app to read anytime and anywhere, even offline. The app is available on the App Store® and Google Play™ Store.
Option to renew. At the end of their Pearson eText subscription, students can opt to extend access to their eText and personalized Notebook.
Integrate with your LMS. Get up and running quickly on the first day of class. LMS integration provides institutions, instructors, and students with single sign-on access to Pearson eText via Blackboard Learn™, Canvas™, Brightspace® by D2L®, and Moodle. Note: If you integrate Pearson eText with your LMS, students must redeem or purchase access through the LMS.
Let students check their understanding. Personalized Study Tools are easy to access on both the web and mobile app to help students learn key terms.
