This introductory book covers the most fundamental aspects of
linear vibration analysis for mechanical engineering students and
engineers. Consisting of five major topics, each has its own
chapter and is aligned with five major objectives of the book. It
starts from a concise, rigorous and yet accessible introduction to
Lagrangian dynamics as a tool for obtaining the governing
equation(s) for a system, the starting point of vibration analysis.
The second topic introduces mathematical tools for vibration
analyses for single degree-of-freedom systems. In the process,
every example includes a section Exploring the Solution with
MATLAB. This is intended to develop student's affinity to symbolic
calculations, and to encourage curiosity-driven explorations. The
third topic introduces the lumped-parameter modeling to convert
simple engineering structures into models of equivalent masses and
springs. The fourth topic introduces mathematical tools for general
multiple degrees of freedom systems, with many examples suitable
for hand calculation, and a few computer-aided examples that
bridges the lumped-parameter models and continuous systems. The
last topic introduces the finite element method as a jumping point
for students to understand the theory and the use of commercial
software for vibration analysis of real-world structures.
