Publisher's Synopsis
Mechanical Vibrations: Theory And Applications is a comprehensive textbook written by Rudolf Karl Bernhard. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanical vibrations and their applications in engineering. It provides a detailed account of the theory of vibrations, including the mathematical analysis of vibrations, the dynamics of single-degree-of-freedom systems, and the behavior of multi-degree-of-freedom systems.The book also covers the practical applications of mechanical vibrations in various fields, including mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and electrical engineering. It includes discussions on the design of vibration isolation systems, vibration measurement techniques, and the analysis of vibration data.The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of mechanical vibrations. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of vibrations, including the types of vibrations, the mathematical representation of vibrations, and the principles of harmonic motion. The subsequent chapters delve into the dynamics of single-degree-of-freedom systems, multi-degree-of-freedom systems, and continuous systems.The book also includes several appendices that provide additional information on topics such as Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, and matrix algebra. Overall, Mechanical Vibrations: Theory And Applications is an essential textbook for students and professionals in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and electrical engineering who want to gain a thorough understanding of mechanical vibrations and their applications.An Introduction To Practical Dynamic Engineering Problems In The Structural Field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
