PREFACE
With the recent interest in environmental issues, vibration problems have beena subject of intense interest for many years in modern industrial societies, such asmaintaining high performance level and production efficiency. Various controltechniques have been developed in different fields to reduce vibration levels.Although vibration control has been studied for long time, it remains and indeedbecomes more challenging in many applications such as aerospace and aeronauticindustry. Furthermore, it is important to understand and analyze the vibrationperformance of the engineering system when we try to control the structural andmechanical vibration levels.
This book provides the background and techniques for modeling, analysis,design, and control of vibration in mechanical engineering systems. This book issuitable as a course textbook in a single-semester course for second-year or thirdyearundergraduate students, or for Master degree candidate in any branch ofengineering such as aeronautical and aerospace, aircraft design, and mechanicalengineering. The book can also serve as a valuable reference tool for practicingengineers with an interest in vibration problems.
This book is an outgrowth of the first author??s experience in teaching undergraduateand graduate courses in Basic of Mechanical Vibration, Active Noise and VibrationControl, for more than ten years.
The topics discussed in this book include free and forced vibration of the singledegree-of-freedom systems and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems. Vibrations ofcontinuous systems are also presented. This book is organized around the conceptsof vibration analysis of basic mechanical systems. Although the earlier chaptersprovide the basis for the later chapters, each chapter is written to be as selfcontainedas possible, with excerpts from earlier chapters provided as needed. Thisknowledge should be useful in the practice of vibration analysis or control,regardless of the application area or the branch of engineering.
Readers are expected to obtain skills ranging from the ability to performinsightful hand analysis to the ability to develop algorithms for numerical/computeranalysis. A large number of examples are presented throughout the book so thatthe subject can be better understood. To fully master the analytical techniques, it isessential that the students solve many of the homework problems which areprovided at the end of each chapter. In addition, many MATLAB programs arepresented for additional study. Furthermore, the MATLAB GUI (Graphical UserInterfaces) files were used to generate most of the results presented throughout thebook. The reader is welcome to use them freely.

NOTES TO STUDENTS
Is it not a delight to acquire knowledge and put it into practice from time totime?
—Confucius (Chinese great educator)
Although mechanical engineering is an exciting and challenging discipline, youmay be frightened during studying the mechanical vibration course. This book waswritten to try to prevent that. A good textbook and a good professor are anadvantage—but you are the one who does the learning. If you keep the followingideas in mind, you will do very well to study mechanical vibrations:
Ø The basic of mechanical vibration provides a foundation for other courses inthe mechanical engineering. For this reason, put in as much effort as youcan. Study the course regularly.
Ø Mechanical vibration is a problem-solving subject, so we should learnthrough practice. Solve as many problems as you can. The best way to learnmechanical vibration is to solve a lot of problems by hand or by usingcomputer software.
Ø MATLAB is a very useful software in signals analysis and other courses youmay be taking. A brief tutorial on MATLAB is given in Appendix B, whichhelp you to start learn this software. The best way to learn MATLAB is totry it once you know a few functions and commands.
Ø Attempt the review questions at the end of each chapter. They will help youdiscover some “tricks” not revealed in the class or in the textbook.
A short review of the mathematical formulas you may need is covered inAppendix A. Some terminology in English and in Chinese are listed in Appendix D.
