For an engineer who deals with vibrations and has access to matlab software, this book covers the main problems. For me, this book is written by engineers for engineers thinking the golden rule in mind: "I don`t want to dig into my lecture notes again, I need a simple answer". Critical information can be found in bold letters, which makes it easier to follow the subject. Everything in the book is supported with a Matlab code. I have to say that I was a little bit worried before getting this book because I didn`t know how much examples or code was included for Matlab, but the quantity and quality is satisfactory. I can not comment on Ansys, since I don`t have access to that software, however it is nice to have some basics about FEA in the book. I liked this book because you can also find comments on how to interprete the results like the real life observable motion of complex eigen frequencies.

This book is a rule of thumb to people who want to have quick and easy access of programing in the vibration analysis field and is a very step-by-step way to develop your skills in this subject. I recomend it to everybody!

This is a very to-the-point book for engineers who need sound techniques for doing free and forced response problems in flexible structures. The author takes a 3-dof system with masses, springs, and dampers all the way from the long hand equations of motion, through symbolic S-domain Laplace transform matrices, and into Ansys-computed eigenvectors. All the way through, full symbolic solutions, Matlab code, and Ansys input decks are given with outputs. No "left as an exercise for the reader" stuff here. He makes it clear how the techniques extend into higher order flexible (many nodes) structures and multi-input/multi-output systems. Easy to read, clear explanations - but probably best for readers who have already seen this stuff in their college days but need a single point of reference. It combines the important bits from the courses in statics, dynamics, differential equations, linear algebra, and numerical methods into one book.

This book reviews the basic concepts of both dynamics and FEA. Vibration is a common phenomenon found in every walk of life. Automobile to watches we can see vibrations everywhere. For a vibration engineer, it is important to analyse the system behavior dynamically. This can be achieved using a FEA tool like ANSYS. This book delivers the exact thing one would expect as an interface between dynamics and FEA.
