Errata to "Design of Structures...for Vibrating Machines"

(OP)
Does anyone have the errata to
"Design of Structures and Foundations for Vibrating Machines" Shuresh Arya et. al.

RE: Errata to "Design of Structures...for Vibrating Machines"

sdz,

I have the second printing of the book (1981).  I didn't know there were errata.  What edition or printing is your book?  I'd also like to see errata if there are some.

I saw a mention of errata in an add for a second hand copy. Can't find the ad now.
Did you know current price is $250.00 second hand?

I'm trying to work through the example in Table 6-3 but get different answers to the text :(

RE: Errata to "Design of Structures...for Vibrating Machines"

I got different answers than were in the book as well.  I have a very old spreadsheet that does the calculations.  It's not well documented and has never been peer reviewed.  If there's a way to get it to you, you're welcome a copy to do with it what you will.  

I'll try to post it on my web page and if I succeed, I'll post a link here.


regards,

I contacted one of the authors about the errata. Here's his reply



Thanks for your e-mail. Unfortunately, I have not been involved in the book for many years and the other two authors are deceased. I faintly recall that there are some errors in the numbers of some examples. You may want to go through the calculations and make the appropriate corrections. As far as I know, the procedures are OK but I can’t offer further information.

Best wishes.

RE: Errata to "Design of Structures...for Vibrating Machines"

I have my old spreadsheet posted on my website:

http://chichuck.home.comcast.net

the file is compressor_vibractions.xls

there is also now a (functional, I think) button to email me as well.  Please let me know if the file is of any use, and also, if you are able to find any errors, or if you have any trouble with the file.


regards,
