Theory of Vibration with Applications

A thorough treatment of vibration theory and its engineering applications, from simple degree to multi degree-of-freedom system. Focuses on the physical aspects of the mathematical concepts necessary to describe the vibration phenomena. Provides many example applications to typical problems faced by practicing engineers. Includes a chapter on computer methods, and an accompanying disk with four basic Fortran programs covering most of the calculations encountered in vibration problems.

Widely acclaimed for its clear presentation of introductory material, this best-selling volume provides a thorough treatment of vibration theory and its engineering applications. Thomson incorporates modern techniques of matrix theory and digital computer methods, and focuses on the physical aspects of the mathematical concepts needed to describe the vibration phenomena. Numerous examples illustrate applications to typical problems faced by practicing engineers. In addition, simple and effective computer techniques such as the Central Difference Method, the Runge-Kutta Methods, and the Choleski-Jacoby Methods are explored. Fourth Edition Highlights: + NEW: Features a new chapter on computational methods that presents the basic principles on which most modern computer programs are developed (Ch. 8) + NEW: Introduces an example on rotor balancing (Ch. 8) and expands the section on shock spectrum and isolation (Ch. 4) + NEW: Emphasizes the importance of normal mode vibration to demonstrate that all free vibrations are composed of normal mode vibrations, and that the initial conditions play a determining influence in free vibrations (Ch. 5) + NEW: Reorganizes the coverage on the properties of vibrating systems for a more logical presentation (Ch. 6) + NEW: Adds coverage of the method of assumed modes (Ch. 7) + NEW: Incorporates a new section on suspension bridges to illustrate the application of the continuous system theory to simplified models for the calculation of natural frequencies (Ch. 9) + NEW: Consolidates the chapters on mode summation procedures for continuous systems approximate numerical methods and numerical procedures for lumped mass systems into two chapters (Ch. 11 &amp; 12).

Springer

This book is another updating revision of the theory of vibration with applications in keeping with the continuing advances in modern technology and pedagogy additional changes have been made in the subject matter arrangement of topics mode of presentation and emphasis. In the first four chapters which deal with single degree of freedom systems the simple physical approach of the previous edition has been adhered to and hopefully improved upon. In chapter 2 the rayleigh energy method for conservative systems is supplemented by the virtual work method. Frequency response concepts using complex algebra have been added to the third chapter. The section on computer calculation still maintains its place of importance.
