Preface :

Vibration is a classical subject whose principles have been known and studied for many centuries and presented in many books. Over the years, the use of these principles to understand and design systems has seen considerable growth in the diversity of systems that are designed with vibrations in mind: mechanical, aerospace, electromechanical and microelectromechanical devices and systems, biomechanical and biomedical systems, ships and sub marines, and civil structures. As the performance envelope of an engineered system is pushed to higher limits, nonlinear effects also have to be taken into account. This book has been written to enable the use of vibration principles in a broad spectrum of applications and to meet the wide range of challenges faced by system analysts and designers. To this end, the authors have the fol lowing goals: a) to provide an introduction to the subject of vibrations for undergraduate students in engineering and the physical sciences, b) to  present vibration principles in a general context and to illustrate the use of these prin ciples through carefully chosen examples from different disciplines, c) to use a balanced approach that integrates principles of linear and nonlinear vibrations with modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement so that physical understanding of the vibratory phenomena and their relevance for engineer ing design can be emphasized, and d) to deduce design guidelines that are ap plicable to a wide range of vibratory systems.
