Vibration is a phenomenon that we can perceive in many systems. Their effects are as diverse as the personal discomfort that can produce the unevenness of a road or the collapse of a building or a bridge during an earthquake. 

An advanced look at vibration analysis with a focus on active vibration suppression

As modern devices, from cell phones to airplanes, become lighter and more flexible, vibration suppression and analysis becomes more critical. Vibration with Control, 2nd Edition includes modelling, analysis and testing methods. New topics include metastructures and the use of piezoelectric materials, and numerical methods are also discussed. 

Delineating a comprehensive theory, Advanced Vibration Analysis provides the bedrock for building a general mathematical framework for the analysis of a model of a physical system undergoing vibration. 

The book illustrates how the physics of a problem is used to develop a more specific framework for the analysis of that problem.

Mechanical Vibrations: Theory and Applications presents the basic principles of engineering vibrations and introduces students to a strategic framework to advance their knowledge and skill in engineering problem-solving.

For courses in vibration engineering. Building Knowledge: Concepts of Vibration in Engineering Retaining the style of previous editions, this Sixth Edition of Mechanical Vibrations effectively presents theory, computational aspects, and applications of vibration, introducing undergraduate engineering students to the subject of vibration engineering in as simple a manner as possible. 

Fundamentals of Vibrations provides a comprehensive coverage of mechanical vibrations theory and applications. Suitable as a textbook for courses ranging from introductory to graduate level, it can also serve as a reference for practicing engineers.

This second edition incorporates a chapter on finite elements and problems including Matlab and Mathcad problems. The CD-ROM contains the solutions manual along with Mathcad and Matlab models and icons are used to highlight the text and examples that relate to modelling.

This new edition explains how vibrations can be used in a broad spectrum of applications and how to meet the challenges faced by engineers and system designers. The text integrates linear and nonlinear systems, and covers the time domain and the frequency domain, responses to harmonic and transient excitations, and discrete and continuous system models. 

It focuses on modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement to provide a complete understanding of the underlying physical vibratory phenomena and their relevance for engineering design.
