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.
