VIBRATION SIMULATION USING MATLAB AND ANSYS

Incorporating the use of MATLAB to help with the solution of problems, this text explores the subject of vibration from a fairly sophisticated, mathematical point of view. With a three degree-of-freedom (DOF) system as a unifying theme, the author develops the associated equations of motion, then in each chapter includes both a closed-form solution and the MATLAB code for solving a problem. The book's unique approach makes it especially useful for engineers who lack experience with state space, and it will prove useful to both the mechanical and control engineering communities in enhancing their ability to communicate.
