Mechanical Vibrations: Theory and Application to StructuralDynamics, Third Edition is a comprehensively updated newedition of the popular textbook. It presents the theory ofvibrations in the context of structural analysis and coversapplications in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Key features include:
* A systematic approach to dynamic reduction and substructuring,based on duality between mechanical and admittance concepts
* An introduction to experimental modal analysis andidentification methods
* An improved, more physical presentation of wave propagationphenomena
* A comprehensive presentation of current practice for solvinglarge eigenproblems, focusing on the efficient linear solution oflarge, sparse and possibly singular systems
* A deeply revised description of time integration schemes,providing framework for the rigorous accuracy/stability analysis ofnow widely used algorithms such as HHT and Generalized-alpha
* Solved exercises and end of chapter homework problems
* A companion website hosting supplementary material
