Vibration of Structures and Machines

Focusing on nonlinear vibration analysis, this book explores significant yet often overlooked topics like rotor dynamics and engine torsional vibrations, catering to both researchers and engineers. It serves as a comprehensive reference and graduate-level text, starting with foundational concepts in linear vibrations before advancing to modal analysis and continuous systems. The inclusion of chaotic vibrations and insights into rotating machinery dynamics enhances its depth. The updated edition modernizes notation and integrates classical and contemporary approaches, enriching the content on control systems and mechatronics.
