Summary

Summary

The Encyclopedia of Vibration is the first resource to cover this field so comprehensively. Approximately 190 articles cover everything from basic vibration theory to ultrasonics, from both fundamental and applied standpoints. Areas covered include vibrations in machines, buildings and other structures, vehicles, ships, and aircraft, as well as human response to vibration. Each article provides a concise and authoritative introduction to a topic. The Encyclopedia includes essential facts, background information, and techniques for modeling, analysis, design, testing, and control of vibration. It is highlighted with numerous illustrations and is structured to provide easy access to required information.


Author Notes

Simon Braun is professor of Mechanical Engineering and Head of Instrumentation at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. He is currently the editor of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, and associate editor of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' (ASME) Journal of Vibration and Acoustics.

Choice Review

The first book of its kind, this excellent encyclopedia is the only comprehensive reference book on vibration, a major area of study for engineering and physics students. It provides long, lucid articles on all the important aspects of vibration. The set includes a glossary, useful appendixes, a bibliography of vibration standards and guidelines, and color plates in each volume. It is clearly intended for advanced readers; the level of writing is pitched at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professionals in the field. Essential for any library supporting an engineering degree program. R. Dyson Lamar University
