Features

  • Offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and easily searchable reference available on vibration and acoustics
  • Summarizes important information, results, and advanced theory into “snapshot” windows that are ideal for quick reference or visual aids
  • Supplies abundant practical, extensive examples that translate theory into implementation
  • Demonstrates the use of the MATLAB® toolboxes for vibration analysis and control, and outlines how to use LabVIEW® for virtual instrumentation
  • Presents instrumentation and testing methods including sensors, exciters, signal acquisition, conditioning, and recording

    • Summary

    Every so often, a reference book appears that stands apart from all others, destined to become the definitive work in its field. The Vibration and Shock Handbook is just such a reference. From its ambitious scope to its impressive list of contributors, this handbook delivers all of the techniques, tools, instrumentation, and data needed to model, analyze, monitor, modify, and control vibration, shock, noise, and acoustics.

    Providing convenient, thorough, up-to-date, and authoritative coverage, the editor summarizes important and complex concepts and results into “snapshot” windows to make quick access to this critical information even easier. The Handbook’s nine sections encompass: fundamentals and analytical techniques; computer techniques, tools, and signal analysis; shock and vibration methodologies; instrumentation and testing; vibration suppression, damping, and control; monitoring and diagnosis; seismic vibration and related regulatory issues; system design, application, and control implementation; and acoustics and noise suppression. The book also features an extensive glossary and convenient cross-referencing, plus references at the end of each chapter.

    Brimming with illustrations, equations, examples, and case studies, the Vibration and Shock Handbook is the most extensive, practical, and comprehensive reference in the field. It is a must-have for anyone, beginner or expert, who is serious about investigating and controlling vibration and acoustics.

    Editorial Reviews

    “The handbook… contains a useful 74-page glossary, and a detailed 62-page index. Both add value to the book. The chapter on computer techniques enhances the usefulness of this reference handbook, and the chapter on acoustics differentiates this from existing vibration and shock reference books. Consider adding it to your bookshelf.”
    –– Timothy Casey, Environmental Acoustics Program Manager, HDR Engineering, Inc., in International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 12, No. 3, 2007
