Vibration

the long version

"Vibration design, testing, and control are crucial to maintaining high performance levels and production efficiency and to prolonging the useful life of machiners, structures, and industrial processes. Before designing or controlling a system for good vibratory performance, the designer or engineer must understand, model, and analyze the vibratory characteristics of the system.". "Vibration: Fundamentals and Practice provides the background and techniques that promote successful analysis, design, modification, testing, and control of vibration in engineering systems. It describes and illustrates the industry-standard and state-of-the-art procedures and hardware, offering a useful, modern treatment of experimental techniques, instrumentation, and applications."--BOOK JACKET.
