Mechanical vibrations have attracted the attention of engineers and researches long time ago. Vibration problems require a deep understanding of mathematical modelling and signal analysis. This work seeks to find, with a practical perspective, those parame

This book describes the design experience of automatic machines and the theoretical background for controlling them. Unlike the existing literature, it includes design concepts and their relationship with the dynamic behavior of automated devices, and links the dynamic response of the machine elements with the actuators that constitute an automatic machine. As such, it demonstrates that it is vital to properly model any automatic machine as a single system and find the final response to have a good design and control scheme. The introduction describes the background for designing automatic...
