    Mechanical Vibrations: Jeff Rhoads and Terry Ballinger

    Uploaded by

    sant_
    This document discusses mechanical vibrations. It defines vibration as any motion that repeats itself after an interval of time. Vibration is important because resonant vibrations can cause structural failures, as seen in the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge due to wind-induced vibration. The document outlines basic vibration concepts, including the natural frequencies and mode shapes that characterize an object's vibrational motion. It also discusses modeling vibration using mass, stiffness, damping, and forcing and how this model can be used. Methods for absorbing unwanted vibrations are presented.
