Mechanical Vibration Book for a Beginner

Mechanical Vibration Book for a Beginner

Mechanical Vibration Book for a Beginner

(OP)
Dears,

I appreciate recommending a Book about Mechanical Vibration, about theory and test data interpretation. I am a very beginner in this filed, other than taking the course back in the school days, have done Normal Mode analysis in the industry. I am interested to gain more understanding of the subject, started to refresh the topic from Engineering Mechanics- Dynamics book. which is limited to SDOF system only.

Thanks for your input & help.

The old B&K books were pretty good from a measurement perspective and used to be available from their website.

However the nitty gritty of experimental modal analysis is not really well covered in any book that I know of, Ewins is the obvious one but by the time I read it it was of interest only, not much new stuff in it.

There is an excellent series of articles on the web, I think i have a link to it in one of the FAQs for this forum.

Cheers

Schaum's outline - there is one on basic mechanical vibration but I don't recall the exact title. Raised my GPA in graduate school by at least 0.25 using Schaum's outlines for several subjects.
