Serving as both text and reference manual, this text connects traditional design-oriented topics, the introduction of modal analysis, and the use of MATLAB. The author provides an unequaled combination of the study of conventional vibration with the use of vibration design, analysis and testing in various engineering applications. Special-interest windows utilized throughout the text placed at points where prior or background information summaries are required. Remind readers of essential information pertinent to the text material, preventing them from flipping to previous chapters or reference texts for formulas or other information. Examines topics that reflect some of the recent advances in vibration technology, changes in ABET criteria and the increased importance of both engineering design and modal analysis. Incorporates MATLAB Vibration Toolbox throughout allowing readers to conduct and explore vibration analysis. Toolbox offers professional quality computer analyses including basics, introduction to model analysis with actual experimental data files and finite elements. Readers are challenged with over 65 computer problems (645 problems in all) including use of manufacture's design charts, measurement analysis, and matrix eigenvalue computing for frequencies and modes. Ideal for readers with an interest in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Basic intro:covers broad beginnings but slights practical,
By A Customer
This review is from: Engineering Vibration (Hardcover)
This book covers the basic material, but other books such
as Schaum's Outline cover a lot of the same basic material. The
Appendix on the Literature section is useful as an access
point to other books on the text. Hartog's book has
more applied information. SS Rao's book has stronger
theoretical development. It is not strong on the mechanics
of performing modal analysis from a mathematical approach.
There are also better examples of LaGrange's method.
Overall it is ok for a junior year text, but needs
supplementing by the instructor. Wowk's book covers
machinery vibration better. My biggest complaint would
be that Inman doesn't cover sensing and other practical
topics well.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great and Practical Text,
This review is from: Engineering Vibration (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anybody interested in vibration analysis. I have used two other vibration books in past classes but this one by far is the best one. This book is so much more practical and explains everything in plain language understood very easily. This text shows its practicality by applying MathCad, Matlab, and Mathematica in each chapter. A must have for vibration engineering students!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Basic Book,
By Marcos F. L. Barreto "Barreto, Marcos Paulo" (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Engineering Vibration (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is a good book for those who are interested in a beginning study or a reference for basic formulation. It has fantastic didactic and good exercises. So it's very good for undergraduate students. Following it's references may lead one to a bright specialization.
