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.

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!

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.

I couldn't understand my teacher or read her writing. I had to rely on this book in order to pass the class. I ended up with a b+ so i can't complain.

This book took a little while to get to me , however it arrived in decent condition, no missing pages, slightly used. good book, will get job done,

Got the book in very good condition, as good as new, and for a very good price. Shipped quickly.
