Mechanical Vibrations: Theory and Application to Structural Dynamics, Third Edition is a comprehensively updated new edition of the popular textbook. It presents the theory of vibrations in the context of structural analysis and covers applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Key features include: A systematic approach to dynamic reduction and substructuring, based on duality between mechanical and admittance conceptsAn introduction to experimental modal analysis and identification methodsAn improved, more physical presentation of wave propagation phenomenaA comprehensive presentation of current practice for solving large eigenproblems, focusing on the efficient linear solution of large, sparse and possibly singular systemsA deeply revised description of time integration schemes, providing framework for the rigorous accuracy/stability analysis of now widely used algorithms such as HHT and Generalized-αSolved exercises and end of chapter homework problemsA companion website hosting supplementary material

Dynamics of Coupled Structures, Volume 4. Proceedings of the 33rd IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Balancing Simulation and Testing, 2015, the fourth volume of ten from the Conference brings together  contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on: Substructuring and the Ampair Wind Turbine Test BedExperimental Dynamic SubstructuringReduced Order Models Experimental Studies of Joints and Joined StructuresAnalytical/Numerical Modeling of JointsIndustrial Applications of Substructuring
