The book can be used not only as a reference, but also as a graduate-level text, as it develops the subject from its foundations and contains problems and solutions for each chapter. The book begins with a discussion of vibrations inlinear systems with one degree of freedom, providing a mathematical and physical basis for the subsequent chapters. Linear systems with many degrees of freedom serve to introduce the modal analysis of vibrations as well as some useful computational procedures. The book then turns to continuous linear systems, discussing both analytical solutions that provide physical insights as well asdiscretization techniques that supply tools for actual computation. The discussion of nonlinear vibrations includes a treatment of chaotic vibrations and other new insights. The book concludes with detailed discussions of the dynamics of rotating and reciprocating machinery Includes modern and consistent notations and covers both classiccal and modern approches thrugh dynamical systems theory Contains problems set for students Incorporates case studeies to illustrate the material INDICE: Introduction.- Conservative Discrete Linear Systems.- Damped Discrete Linear Systems.- Response to Nonperiodic Excitation.- Continuous Linear Systems.- Discretization of Continuous Systems.- Conservative Nonlinear Systems.- Damped and Time-dependent Nonlinear Systems.- Dynamic Behavior of Rotating Machinery – Part 1.- Dynamic Behaviour of Rotating Machinery - Part 2.- DynamicProblems of Reciprocating Machines.- Short Outline on Controlled and Active Systems.- Solution Methods.
