The aim of this book is to address important practical aspects of nonlinear vibration analysis. It presents cases rarely discussed in the existing literature on vibration that are problems of considerable interest for researchers and practical engineers, such as rotor dynamics and torsional vibration of engines. The book can be used not only as a reference, but also as a graduate-level text, as it develops the subject from its foundations and contains problems and solutions for each chapter. The book begins with a discussion of vibrations in linear systems with one degree of freedom,...

This comprehensive text discusses both the classical approach to vibration and the modern approach through dynamical systems theory. It includes modernized notation, recent developments in the field, case studies and problems set for students.
