New to this edition

Several new features have been introduced, many new topics are added and some topics are modified and rewritten in this edition. Most of the additions and modifications were suggested by those who have used the text and by several reviewers. The examples and problems based on C++ and Fortran programs, given in the fourth edition of the book, have been deleted. Some important changes should be noted:

  1. Chapter outline and learning objectives are stated at the beginning of each chapter.
  2. Chapter summary is given at the end of each chapter.
  3. The presentation of some of the topics is modified for expanded coverage and better clarity. These include the discussion on the basic components of vibration - spring elements, damping elements and mass or inertia elements, vibration isolation, and active vibration control.
  4. Many new topics are added with detailed presentation and illustrative examples. These include: Response of first order systems and time constant, Graphical representation of characteristic roots and solutions, Parameter variations and root locus representation, Stability of systems, transfer function approach for forced vibration problems, Frequency transfer function approach, Bode diagram for damped single degree of freedom systems, Step response and description of transient response, and Inelastic and elastic collisions.
  5. 28 new examples, 160 new problems, 70 new review questions, and 107 new illustrations are added in this edition.
  6. The C++ and Fortran program-based examples and problems given at the end of every chapter in the previous edition have been deleted.
Features & benefits
  • Clear, detailed presentation. Each topic in Mechanical Vibrations is self-contained, with all concepts explained fully and the derivations presented with complete details.
  • MATLAB-based problems and programs. Computational aspects are emphasized throughout the book. MATLAB-based examples as well as several general purpose MATLAB programs with illustrative examples are given in the last section of every chapter. Numerous problems requiring the use of MATLAB or MATLAB programs (given in the text) are included at the end of every chapter. More than 25 MATLAB programs are included to aid students in the numerical implementation of the methods discussed in the text.
  • Unique presentation of topics. Most textbooks discuss isolators, absorbers, and balancing in different chapters. Since one of the main purposes of the study of vibrations is to control vibration response, all topics related to vibration control are given in Chapter 9. The vibration measuring instruments, along with vibrating exciters, experimental modal analysis procedure, and machine condition monitoring, are together presented in Chapter 10. Similarly, all the numerical integration methods applicable to single- and multi-degree of freedom systems, as well as continuous systems, are unified in Chapter 11.
  • Illustrative examples. More than 240 illustrative examples are given to accompany most topics.
  • Review Questions. More than 980 review questions are included to help students in reviewing and testing their understanding of the text material. The review questions are in the form of multiple choice questions, questions with brief answers, true-false questions, questions involving matching of related descriptions, and fill-in-the-black type questions.
  • Extensive set of problems. Each chapter contains an extensive set of problems emphasizing a variety of applications of the material covered in that chapter. In total, there are more than 1150 problems, with solutions in the instructor's Solutions Manual.
  • Design project-type problems. More than 30 design project-type problems, many with no unique solution, are given at the end of various chapters.
  • Biographies of leaders in the field.The biographical information of about 20 scientists and engineers who contributed to the development of the theory of vibrations is presented on the opening pages of all chapters and appendixes.
  • Companion Web site. The Companion Web site, located at www.prenhall.com/rao, contains MATLAB programs from the book, answers to problems, and answers to review questions. A Solutions Manual with solutions to all problems and hints to design projects is available to instructors who adopt the text for their courses.
