Preface:
Engineers apply mathematics and science to solve problems. In a traditional under- graduate engineering curriculum, students begin their academic career by taking courses in mathematics and sciences such as chemistry and physics. Students begin to develop basic problem-solving skills in engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, mechanics of solids, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. In such courses, students learn to apply basic laws of nature, constitutive equations, and equations of state to develop solutions to abstract engineering problems.Vibrations is one of the first courses where students learn to apply the knowledge obtained from mathematics and basic engineering science courses to solve practical problems. While the knowledge about vibrations and vibrating systems is important, the problem-solving skills obtained while studying vibrations are just as important. The objectives of this book are two fold: to present the basic principles of engineering vibrations and to present them in a frame work where the reader will advance his/her knowledge and skill in engineering problem solving.
