Mechanical Vibrations by J. S. Mehta, A. S. Kailey
Book Summary:
Written specifically for the students of Mechanical Engineering, "Mechanical Vibrations" is a succinctly written textbook. Without being verbose, the textbook delves into all concepts related to the subject and deals with them in a laconic manner.
Concepts such as Freedom Systems, Vibration Measurement and Transient Vibrations have been treated well for the student to get profounder knowledge in the subject.
Audience of the Book :
This book Useful for Engineering Students.
Salient Feature:
1. A new chapter on "Basics of Sound and Noise" has been added which will be helpful to understand sound intensity, pressure and power besides also providing an in-depth understanding of sound and noise strategy and control.
2. Concepts such as Natural Frequency, Damping Ratio, Logarithmic Decrement, Lagrange's Equations and Laplace Transformation among others have been applied in various in-text examples to accentuate the topic at hand and also provide the learners with practice to further their understanding.
3. Learning Objectives, aptly placed figures and examples (close to 500) and chapter-end questions (close to 300) embellish the process of understanding of each concept of the text.
