This book presents the topic of Vibrations comprehensively in terms of principles of Dynamics - forces, responses, analysis, solutions, examples, measurement, interpretation, control and probabilistic approaches. Idealised discrete systems as well as continuous systems are discussed in detail. A wide array of numerical methods used in vibration analysis are presented in view of their enormous popularity, adaptability using personal computers. A large number of examples have been worked out to help an easy understanding of even the difficult topics in vibration analysis and control. Finally, commonly needed expressions in the dynamics of vibrations are given for ready reference and use in computations.
