Vibration With Control 2E

Vibration with Control, Second Edition is a comprehensively updated edition which includes many new problems and examples, making it an ideal text for advanced/graduate courses in addition to being the standard reference on the topic. It covers the control of vibration with consideration to analysis, design and measurement, and presents the fundamental theory and considers practical applications. It also demonstrates how to use MATLAB® for the solution of vibration control problems. New topics covered include robustness and adaptive control, energy methods, laplace transform methods, and boundary element methods. The emerging areas of metastructures, and validation and verification are also covered.

Vibration with Control, Second Edition is accompanied by a website hosting MATLAB code, a solutions manual and powerpoint slides, making it an ideal textbook for vibration courses.
