Mechanical vibration is defined as the measurement of a periodic

process of oscillations with respect to an equilibrium point. This

book should provide essential concepts involving vibrational
analysis, uncertainty modeling, and vibration control. It should
also give a good fundamental basis in computational results,
mathematical modeling and assessment in performance of
different systems and system components. Attention will be paid
to vibrating systems such as beams, strings, plates and
membranes, vibration isolation, critical speeds, the balancing of
rotating and reciprocating machinery. Basic principles of control
theory will be presented from feedback control systems. Finally,
chapters will include numerous example problems and possibly
projects.
In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a
special type of periodic motion or oscillation where the
restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement
and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
