Synopsis

Modal and Spectrum Analysis Data Dependent Systems in State Space Sudhakar M. Pandit Written for scientists and engineers dealing with real data experimental or operational this important work presents a untried and comparative treatment of modal and spectrum analysis of dynamic systems and structures. The book illustrates how the use of Data Dependent Systems (DDS) unites the two methods of analysis and simplifies many of the techniques, while providing more accurate, realistic, and easily interpreted results. Both time (modal analysis) and frequency domain (spectrum analysis) methods are systematically covered to demonstrate the relative merits and disadvantages of each. Supplements include extensive tables of results from real data, more than 50 figures (including unique plots of multivariate spectra and transfer functions) and a detailed bibliography. 1991 (0 471–63705–X) 415 pp. Vibration Problems in Engineering Fifth Edition William Weaver, Jr., Stephen P. Timoshenko, and Donovan H. Young "A substantial revision of the previous edition it remains a very good undergraduate text and handy reference work." Journal of Sound and Vibration While keeping much of Timoshenko s classic work on vibration theory intact, this Fifth Edition features new information on powerful, modern computational techniques. Written in a style that gives concrete physical meaning to terms and equations, the current edition includes such enhancements as revised problems, examples of applications, and computer programs. Highlights include a thorough presentation of multidegree of freedom systems using flexibility and stiffness formulation; vibration of continuous systems; a new chapter on the finite–element method; plus matrix and numerical techniques for problem solving. 1990 (0 471–63228–7) 610 pp.

About this title

Review

"Some things get better with age, e.g. women, wine and pea soup. This is also true here. Each new book in this ′series′ of books started by Leo Beranek in 1960 and continued with help from Istvan Ver has gotten better. They all maintain a depth that is not available in many of the other books available on noise control. This book has a excellent balance of practical and therefore useful guidelines and theoretical modeling with equations and data to support and permit easy extension of the guidelines to most of the situations faced by noise control engineers. In general, one will not be buried in math that does not lead to meaningful help for noise control engineers looking for solutions to real problems. Anyone serious about noise control should have this book available, even if you are like me and have the other three proceeding books in this ′series′."
