Vibration Problems in Engineering
Vibration Problems in Engineering by Stephen Timoshenko is a seminal and foundational textbook that defines the study of mechanical vibrations in engineering. This classic work develops the fundamentals of vibration theory and illustrates their application to real-world technical problems such as machine balancing, torsional vibrations of shafts, and the dynamic response of bridges and structures under moving loads. The text covers harmonic vibrations of single-degree-of-freedom systems, advanced multi-degree systems, and vibrations of continuous media like beams, plates, and turbine discs. By integrating rigorous mathematical derivations with practical case studies from engineering practice, Timoshenko provides the essential tools for engineers to ensure structural reliability and performance in systems subject to cyclic loading and dynamic forces.
