Mechanical Vibrations Sixth Edition in SI Units
Mechanical Vibrations Sixth Edition in SI Units serves as an introduction to the subject of vibration engineering at the undergraduate level. The style of the prior editions retained, with the theory, computational aspects, and applications of vibration presented in as simple a manner as possible. As in the previous editions, computer techniques of analysis are emphasized. Expanded explanations of the fundamentals are given, emphasizing physical significance and interpretation that build upon previous experiences in undergraduate mechanics. Numerous examples and problems are used to illustrate principles and concepts. Favorable reactions and encouragement from professors and students have provided me with the impetus to prepare this sixth edition of the book.

The material presented in the text helps achieve some of the program outcomes specified by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology):
- Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering: The subject of vibration, as presented in the book, applies the knowledge of mathematics (differential equations, matrix algebra, vector methods, and complex numbers) and science (statics and dynamics) to solve engineering vibration problems.
- Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems: The numerous illustrative examples, problems for practice, and design projects help identify various types of practical vibration problems and develop mathematical models, analyze, solve to find the response, and interpret the results.
