Vibration Simulation Using MATLAB and ANSYS

Incorporating the use of industry-standard software to help with problem solving, Vibration Simulation Using MATLAB and ANSYS explores the subject of vibration from a fairly sophisticated, mathematical point of view. With a three degree-of-freedom system as a unifying theme, the author develops the associated equations of motion, then in each chapter includes both a closed-form solution and the MATLAB code for solving a problem. The book’s unique approach makes it especially useful for engineers who lack experience with state space, and by enhancing their ability to communicate, it will prove useful to the mechanical and control engineering communities as well.
