This is a textbook for a first course in mechanical vibrations. There are many books in this area that try to include everything, thus they have become exhaustive compendiums overwhelming for the undergraduate. In this book, all the basic concepts in mechanical vibrations are clearly identified and presented in a concise and simple manner with illustrative and practical examples. Vibration concepts include a review of selected topics in mechanics; a description of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems in terms of equivalent mass, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent damping; a unified treatment of various forced response problems (base excitation and rotating balance); an introduction to systems thinking, highlighting the fact that SDOF analysis is a building block for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) and continuous system analyses via modal analysis; and a simple introduction to finite element analysis to connect continuous system and MDOF analyses. There are more than 60 exercise pro
Editorial : About the Author Alok Sinha is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University (PSU), University Park. He received his PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. He has been a PSU faculty member since August 1983. His areas of teaching and research are vibration, control systems, jet engines, robotics, neural networks and nanotechnology. He is the author of Linear Systems: Optimal and Robust Control. He has served as a Visiting Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, and as a researcher at Pratt and Whitney, E. Hartford, CT. He has also been an associate editor of the ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control. At present, he serves as Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Turbomachinery and the AIAA Journal. Alok Sinha is also a Fellow of ASME, and has received a NASA Certificate of Recognition for Significant Contribution to the Space
Good service. That way the reader can refer, on occasion, to the time line as a brief reminder and synopsis of the relevant events.. Some of the exercises require you to do them several times to grasp what he is trying to get across to you as a seer of colors. I would strongly recommend that the reader defer reading the Johns Hopkins Preface, until completing the entire book (including the Original Preface and Epilogue). Books like this give the information the popular media do not disclose, such as “The Canvas guy [Popovic] is a friend/source [for Stratfor], and recommended her to us,” Stratfor’s Vice President of Analysis Scott Stewart said in a March 2010 email, leaving out that the two were dating at the time. The more you delve into the subject, the greater will be your respect and amazement for the stupendous theoretical contributions this strange hermit accomplished.
From this book, as far as classical E&M goes, he was way way ahead of his time. Then
