Logically organized, this book guides readers through all aspects of vibration analysis. Each chapter explains how to harness the problem-solving capabilities of today's popular engineering software, including Mathcad, Maple, Matlab, and Mathematica. Topics covered include vibration measurement, finite element analysis, and eigenvalue determination. Included are more than 300 solved problems--completely explained.
Review of Schaum's Outline of Mechanical Vibrations
| Customer Rating: | | An excellent, thorough and comprehensive overview of the subject, with clear, detailed and well organized presentation of vibrations theory and problem solving methodologies. A valuable classic reference asset to any graduate student's or practicing engineer's technical library. Highly recommended for all mechanical engineers. |
A good supplement if you have the right prerequisites
| Customer Rating:  | | This Schaum's outline is a better reference and source of examples and problems than it is a stand-alone tutorial. It does a pretty good job of outlining the material and kinds of problems you need to solve in a course on mechanical vibrations, but the explanations fall somewhat short. Also, remember that to understand this material you should already be familiar with matrix algebra, calculus, and both partial and differential equations, as well as your engineering mechanics. The wave equation and even Lagrangian dynamics are mentioned, and you are going to need to already understand those subjects if the problems in this book are going to make any sense. If you want a good cheap textbook on the subject that does a great job of explaining everything, I recommend "Mechanical Vibrations", by Hartog and published by Dover. That book was written many years ago, but it is still better than the expensive newer texts on the subject. In summary, buy Hartog for the explanation, buy this Schaum's outline for practice problems and a quick reference. You'll wind up with two books that comprise a self-contained course on mechanical vibrations for a total cost of less than thirty dollars. |
Schaum's Outline Series are good!
| Customer Rating: | | I raise a hand of praise to these books in general. But, when it comes to Mechanical Vibrations, this guide falls short in some places. While the problems you must solve are of great help, some of the calculated problems and discussions are somewhat misleading (especially if you're rusty on your matrices). |
