Broad, up-to-date coverage of advanced vibration analysis by the market-leading
author
Successful vibration analysis of continuous structural elements and systems
requires a knowledge of material mechanics, structural mechanics, ordinary and
partial differential equations, matrix methods, variational calculus, and
integral equations. Fortunately, leading author Singiresu Rao has created
Vibration of Continuous Systems, a new book that provides engineers,
researchers, and students with everything they need to know about analytical
methods of vibration analysis of continuous structural systems.
Featuring coverage of strings, bars, shafts, beams, circular rings and curved
beams, membranes, plates, and shells-as well as an introduction to the
propagation of elastic waves in structures and solid bodies-Vibration of
Continuous
