de Silva, C.W. * Measuring and testing for vibration is critical in maximizing system durability and ensuring safety, including effects of vibrations on humans and their environment. Condensing information from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, this book supplies a convenient guide to the tools, techniques, data, and instrumentation to successfully test, measure, and analyze vibration behavior. Expert contributors examine instrumentation, signal acquisition, LabVIEW tools for virtual instrumentation, shock and vibration methodologies for various civil and mechanical engineering systems, signal conditioning, and recording. The book also includes an additional chapter on human response to vibration. * de Silva, C. W. ed. * Understanding vibration behavior in modern systems is a complex task, requiring detailed mathematical models to evaluate the sources and effects of vibrations. Fortunately, there are a number of software tools available for modeling and analyzing this behavior. In chapters drawn from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, Computer Techniques in Vibration summarizes and demonstrates a variety of software applications, tools, and techniques used to explore mechanical vibrations. Compiling critical information into a convenient, thorough, and up-to-date source, expert contributors discuss finite element methods, fast Fourier transform, wavelet analysis, the use of MATLABョ toolboxes, and approaches to vibration signal analysis. * Pippard, A. B. * The study of vibration in physical systems is central to almost all fields in physics and engineering. This work, originally published in two volumes, examines the classical aspects in Part I and the quantum oscillator in Part II. The classical linear vibrator is treated first and the underlying unity of all linear oscillations in electrical, mechanical and acoustic systems is emphasized. The treatment of nonlinear vibrations, a field with which engineers and physicists are generally less familiar, is then examined. Part II then concentrates on quantum systems, looking at the vibrations in atoms and molecules and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. The similarities of classical and quantum methods are stressed and the limits of the classical treatment are examined. Throughout the book, each phenomenon discussed is well illustrated with many examples; and theory and experiment are compared. This is a useful introduction to the more advanced mathematical treatment of vibrations as it bridges the gap between the basic principles and more specialized concepts. * Long, M. et al. Rossing, T.

W. ed. * Comprising chapters from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, this book presents a single, concise, and convenient reference to the techniques, tools, and data necessary to monitor, reduce, control, and prevent mechanical vibrations, noise, and acoustics. Passive and active control methods are presented for suppressing undesirable vibrations while enhancing desirable types of vibration. * |
