5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best....., January 21, 2001
A great book from Meirovitch, the father of vibrations. Like all past books in vibrations authored by Meirovitch, the present book covers every topic, but now in a state-of-art fashion. As a software application,very will written MATLAB codes are included.I think that this book is going to be the standard vibrations book in near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, sorry binding., November 30, 2009
By 
K. Elgin (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fundamentals of Vibrations (Hardcover)
This is an excellent vibrations book compared to the offerings of other books on the subject. However, there are a couple of things to note about this book:

1.) The description claims that there are many examples in each chapter. That is simply not true if you consider 1 trivial example for each section to be "many" examples. My professor kindly reminded me that pretty pictures and examples can be found in undergraduate vibrations books. Also, the matlab code in the book is not available anywhere online or on disk. This makes using the programs rather tedious.

2.) The binding came unglued the first week I owned it which is really annoying since I dropped approximately 1 billion dollars on the thing. I would have sent it back had I not needed it.

Other than that, have fun!
