4.0 out of 5 stars
Reprint of a classic text from 1930s, still very applicable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mechanical Vibrations (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)
This book is a reprint of a classic text, used at Harvardfor many years. The reprint has lots of problems solved in the text and plenty of good problems for the reader to solve. Very application oriented problems covering rotating, and vibrating real world machinery. You can lear n a lot from this text by reading and doing the problems, none of which require a much math beyond algebra and first year calculus. I do practical vibration analysis daily in my work and this and Schaum's outlines are what I would recommend if you have to teach others the basics of vibration for solving typical practical problems.

physics of mechanical vibrations,

This review is from: Mechanical Vibrations (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)
I feel the title "Physics of mechanical vibrations" would be more suitable for this book. The author justifies (by physical explaination) each and every mathematical result in the book. THe end of the book excercises are applicaiton oriented and author makes us to think and apply the techniques learned from the book to a real world problem. One can suppliment this book with Timoshenko's "Vibration problems in engineering". Both books are nice and explain the theory with practical applications.

Excelent Book,

This review is from: Mechanical Vibrations (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)
This book really emphasizes the understanding of basic physical principles in solving vibration problems. Although first published in the early 30s, most of the contents are still up to date. The chapter on self-excited vibrations is great.
