Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis

This fully updated and revised third edition covers the entire field of mechanical vibration and shock, which is one of the most common types of load and stress applied to structures, machines, and components in the real world.

Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis


The regular and predictable loads applied to turbines, motors, or helicopters by the spinning of their constituent parts, the ability of buildings to withstand damage from wind loads or explosions, and the need for cars to maintain structural integrity in the event of a crash are all examples. There are detailed examinations of underlying theory, models developed for specific applications, material performance under test conditions and in real-world settings, case studies, and discussions of how the relationships between these affect product design.

For an arbitrary excitation, the relative and absolute response of a mechanical system with a single degree of freedom is considered, and its transfer function is defined in various forms. The characteristics of sinusoidal vibration are investigated in the context of both real-world and laboratory tests, as well as for the one-degree-of-freedom system's transient and steady-state response. Viscous damping is considered first, followed by non-linear damping. The various types of swept sine perturbations and their properties are described, and the consequences of an incorrect choice of sweep rate for the one-degree-of-freedom system are considered. The latter is then used to develop rules for selecting appropriate sweep rates.
