French A.P. Vibrations and Waves

NASA Technical Translation, 1968. 111 p. Translation of: "Analisis, Control y Di seno de un Sistema Mecanico Sujeto a Vibraciones", Universidad Autonoma da San Luis Potosi (Mexico) Ph.D. Thesis, 1967, 157 pages. The discussion begins with a definition of vibrations, how they originate and their principle causes as well as their classification for study. The vibrations are analyzed according to this classification and the manner in which they sho...

InTech, Rijeka, Croatia, 2011, 236 pages This book covers recent advances in modern vibrations analysis, from analytical methods to applications of vibrations analysis to condition monitoring. Covered topics include stochastic finite element approaches, wave theories for distributed parameter systems, second other shear deformation theory and applications of phase space to the identifications of nonlinearities and transients. Chapters on novel c...

Cengage Learning, 2008. - 736 pages. Featuring outstanding coverage of linear and non-linear single degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, this book teaches the use of vibration principles in a broad spectrum of applications. In this introduction for undergraduate students, authors Balakumar Balachandran and Edward B. Magrab present vibration principles in a general context and illustrate the use of these principles through caref...

CRC Press, 2010. 336 p. ISBN:1439817987, 978-1-4398-1798-8 (Hardback) From the ox carts and pottery wheels the spacecrafts and disk drives, efficiency and quality has always been dependent on the engineer’s ability to anticipate and control the effects of vibration. And while progress in negating the noise, wear, and inefficiency caused by vibration has been made, more is needed. Modeling and Control of Vibration in Mechanical Systems answers t...

InTech, 2011. 456 p. ISBN:9789533072098 Vibrations are extremely important in all areas of human activities, for all sciences, technologies and industrial applications. Sometimes these Vibrations are useful but other times they are undesirable. In any case, understanding and analysis of vibrations are crucial. This book reports on the state of the art research and development findings on this very broad matter through 22 original and innovative...

Manchester Physics Series. Wiley, 2009. - 242 Pages. This introductory text emphasises physical principles, rather than the mathematics. Each topic begins with a discussion of the physical characteristics of the motion or system. The mathematics is kept as clear as possible, and includes elegant mathematical descriptions where possible. Designed to provide a logical development of the subject, the book is divided into two sections, vibrations fo...

HPS, 2002. 320 p. ISBN:190399604X This volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, its properties and the assumptions involved in its calculation. In developing the practical application of these concepts, the shock shapes most often used with test facilities are presented, together with their characteristics and indications of how to establish test configurations comparable with those of the real, measured environmen...

Cambridge University Press, 2007. 656 p. ISBN:0521033330, 0521372003 The study of vibration in physical systems is central to almost all fields in physics and engineering. This work, originally published in two volumes, examines the classical aspects in Part I and the quantum oscillator in Part II. The classical linear vibrator is treated first and the underlying unity of all linear oscillations in electrical, mechanical and acoustic systems is...

Cambridge University Press, 2010. 324 p. ISBN:0521518733 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. Vibratio...
