Structural Vibration Analysis and Damping Many structures suffer from unwanted vibrations and, although careful analysis at the design stage can minimize these, the vibration levels of many structures are excessive. In this book the entire range of methods of controlling this structural vibration — both by damping and by excitation control — are described in a single volume. Clear and concise descriptions are given of the techniques for mathematically modelling real structures so that the equations which describe the motion of such structures can be derived. This approach leads naturally to a comprehensive discussion of the analysis of typical models of vibrating structures excited by a range of periodic and random inputs. Careful consideration is also given to the sources of excitation, both internal and external, and the effects of isolation and transmissibility. A major part of the book is devoted to damping of structures and many sources of damping are considered, as are the ways of changing damping using both active and passive methods. The numerous worked examples liberally distributed throughout the text amplify and clarify the theoretical analysis presented and particular attention is paid to the meaning and interpretation of results, further enhancing the scope and applications of analysis. In addition 80 problems are included, with answers and worked solutions given for most of them. It will provide engineering students, designers and professional engineers with a detailed insight into the principles involved in the analysis and damping of structural vibration while presenting a sound theoretical basis for further study.

From the Publisher
The techniques available for analyzing and damping structural vibration are presented and the mathematical modelling of real structures is explained in detail. Comprehensively discusses the analysis of periodic and random inputs, focusing on the interpretation of the analytical results and their implications. Careful consideration is also given to the sources of internal and external vibration excitation and the effects of isolation and transmissibility. The extensive number of worked examples amplify and reinforce the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for Vibration analysis.,
By
This review is from: Structural Vibration: Analysis and Damping (Paperback)
This book is no longer in print, but available online for free in .pdf format, just google it. You have to have some math and physics backround to understand it, but its nothing too complicated, if you have a math or engineering degree you will grasp the easy explanations. Glad I saved $160 haha.
