Broad, up-to-date coverage of advanced vibration analysis by themarket-leading author

Successful vibration analysis of continuous structural elementsand systems requires a knowledge of material mechanics, structuralmechanics, ordinary and partial differential equations, matrixmethods, variational calculus, and integral equations. Fortunately,leading author Singiresu Rao has created Vibration of ContinuousSystems, a new book that provides engineers, researchers, andstudents with everything they need to know about analytical methodsof vibration analysis of continuous structural systems.

Featuring coverage of strings, bars, shafts, beams, circularrings and curved beams, membranes, plates, and shells—as wellas an introduction to the propagation of elastic waves instructures and solid bodies—Vibration of Continuous Systemspresents:

• Methodical and comprehensive coverage of the vibration ofdifferent types of structural elements
• The exact analytical and approximate analytical methods ofanalysis
• Fundamental concepts in a straightforward manner, complete withillustrative examples

With chapters that are independent and self-contained, Vibrationof Continuous Systems is the perfect book that works as aone-semester course, self-study tool, and convenient reference.
