{"product_id":"mechanical-vibration-isbn-9780471345558","title":"Mechanical Vibration","description":"Intended as an introduction to mechanical vibration, William Palm’s text is designed for courses typically offered in the junior or senior year in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or engineering mechanics curricula. Common applications of the subject include vehicle suspension systems and vibration isolators and absorbers designed to minimize the effects of vibration on people and machines.  Prerequisite subject   is dynamics, and \u003ci\u003eMechanical\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eVibration\u003c\/i\u003e provides many examples of deriving vibration models from dynamics principles.    \u003cp\u003eThe first seven chapters form the core text material.  One or more of the remaining four chapters may be covered, depending on the time available and on the emphasis desired by the instructor.  Because MATLAB is now the standard applications language used in engineering curricula, this language is emphasized in the text, via separate sections at the end of chapter.   In addition, Simulink, which provides a graphical user interface that is often much easier to use than traditional command-line programs, is covered in the text.  This is the only vibration text to cover Simulink, and most chapters have a separate section devoted to the Simulink features relevant to the chapter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  Chapter 1.

You'll learn how to apply knowledge of mathematics and science to model and analyze systems ranging from a single degree of freedom to complex systems with two and more degrees of freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate MATLAB sections at the end of most chapters show how to use the most recent features of this standard engineering tool, in the context of solving vibration problems. The text introduces Simulink where solutions may be difficult to program in MATLAB, such as modeling Coulomb friction effects and simulating systems that contain non-linearities. Ample problems throughout the text provide opportunities to practice identifying, formulating, and solving vibration problems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eStrong pedagogical approach, including chapter objectives and summaries\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExtensive worked examples illustrating applications\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNumerous realistic homework problems\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUp-to-date MATLAB coverage\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe first vibration textbook to cover Simulink\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSelf-contained introduction to MATLAB in Appendix A\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecial section dealing with active vibration control in sports equipment\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecial sections devoted to obtaining parameter values from experimental data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989595865317,"sku":"NP9780471345558","price":220.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471345558.jpg?v=1761784743","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/mechanical-vibration-isbn-9780471345558","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
