Reviews

... this book is a good reference book to have on the shelf to refresh your memory about some aspects of vibrations or to find a reference to deepen your understanding. It is also a good book for people - like physicists or electrical engineers - who have a technical background but not in this area of mechanical engineering. -Noise Control Engineering Journal The book is very well written and could be considered as quite different from earlier books on the topic, and can be recommended for graduate research level students as well as practicing engineers. -Journal of Structural Engineering An excellent addition to the literature. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -Choice This reviewer recommends this book strongly for use in universities libraries and laboratories involved in vibration measurements. -Applied Mechanics Reviews The book is well written and structured, and is a good reference book -The Structural Engineer This book provides students, researchers and engineers with a concise and comprehensive introduction to mechanical and structural vibrations. It gives methods for solving problems in this field of area but opens doors to experimental vibration analysis and random vibrations. ...This book provides a background in techniques and methods and sounds guidelines and understanding of theoretical concepts in vibration analysis. -Christian Cremona, Setra/CTOA, France

Author Information

Paolo L. Gatti graduated in nuclear physics from the State University of Milano (Italy) and worked for 12 years for a private engineering company, where he became head of the vibration testing and data acquisition department. Since 2000, he has worked as an independent consultant in mechanical and structural vibrations, acoustics, and statistical analyses of experimental data. In these fields of activity, he is also an accredited technical consultant for the Court of Justice of Milan. He is also the author of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics for Engineers, published by Spon Press (Taylor & Francis Group) in 2005.
