"This is a very comprehensive text that includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced material appropriate for mechanical engineering seniors and graduate students." -- Ara Arabyan, University of Arizona "Comprehensive coverage of virtually all vibration related topics." -- Ara Arabyan, University of Arizona "The book covers all the relevant topics of vibration analysis. The material is presented in a simple manner, easy to read, follow and understand. Moreover, illustrations are simple, yet complete and serve well the presented material and solution strategy and methodology." -- Faissal A. Moslehy, University of Central Florida "The book presents a comprehensive coverage of mechanical vibration. It is a very resourceful textbook as well as a "must have" reference." -- Faissal A. Moslehy, University of Central Florida "Presentation of a wide range of vibration topics, including experimental modal analysis, machine monitoring, nonlinear and random vibration, which are normally taught at the graduate level. This makes the book a viable reference for practicing engineers as well." -- Faissal A. Moslehy, University of Central Florida "I absolutely love this text book. This is one of my favorites Vibrations book. I must congratulate the author for doing such a great job in the planning, organization, writing, editing and continuous improvement of the book." -- Mohen Rao, Michigan Tech "The chapters are excellently written and presented. What I like about this text is that it includes all the steps in arriving an equation or conclusion and the solutions to the example problems are very detailed." -- Amir Rezael, California State Polytechnic University, "This is a very comprehensive text that includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced material appropriate for mechanical engineering seniors and graduate students."

    I appreciate the deal I was able to get on both books I ordered. They came as pictured and described in the listing and look good! My only complaint is the packaging could be better, I got two paperback books that were not shipped in a box but rather and envelope and one of the covers arrived bent. So I would recommend the seller use bubblewrap or a box to ship future orders.
