Mechanical vibration analysis and computation

Focusing on applications rather than rigorous proofs, this volume is suitable as a text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students concerned with vibration problems. It also serves as a practical handbook for performing vibration calculations and features extensive appendices and answers t...
