Book Description -- With structures becoming lighter and more flexible -- and therefore more free to vibrate -- vibration analysis has become an increasingly important part of design. This volume keeps pace with these developments by providing a compilation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a wide range of practical important structural and fluid systems. This book will prove itself valuable to all structural, civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineers. Designers and students will also benefit from its use.
The "Roark and Young" of Vibration - Any engineer who needs to perform stress and strain calculations knows the value of owning or having access to Roark and Young's classic reference for Formulas for Stress and Strain. Blevins' reference book is without a doubt the Roark and Young for vibration calculations. It is setup in much the same way as Roark and Young's, with many easy to understand tables with many cases. It covers the vibration mode shapes and natural frequencies of beams of many cross section and boundary condtions, shells, plates, and even fluid systems. I've had it for a couple years, and I still learn new things every time I use it. A must for any engineer who deals with vibration.
"A Roark's book for Dynamics" - A must for mechanical engineers and the like who do a lot of design work with vibrating mechanical systems. This book contains many tables showing governing equations for various cases along with illustrations. Also gives plenty of references at chapter's end for more information on a subject.
