FIFTH EDITION | W. WEAVER, JR., The Late S. P. TIMOSHENKO, The Late D. H. YOUNG
The article presents the fifth edition of "Vibration Problems in Engineering" by W. Weaver, Jr., S. P. Timoshenko, and D. H. Young. This book is a comprehensive resource on vibration analysis, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. It is structured into six main chapters, each addressing different types of vibration systems. The first chapter focuses on systems with one degree of freedom, discussing topics such as free and forced vibrations, damping, and response spectra. The second chapter explores nonlinear systems, including direct integration methods and numerical solutions. The third chapter examines systems with two degrees of freedom, covering equations of motion and responses to various forces. The fourth chapter extends the analysis to systems with multiple degrees of freedom, discussing frequencies, mode shapes, and damping. The fifth chapter addresses continua with infinite degrees of freedom, covering longitudinal, torsional, and transverse vibrations of various structures. The sixth chapter introduces the finite-element method for discretized continua. The book also includes appendices on units, material properties, computer programs, and answers to problems. It serves as a valuable reference for engineers and students studying vibration analysis.The article presents the fifth edition of "Vibration Problems in Engineering" by W. Weaver, Jr., S. P.
