Revision of: Mechanical vibration and shock analysis / Christian Lalanne. Second edition. London: ISTE Ltd; Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2009.

Everything engineers need to know about mechanical vibration and shock. in one authoritative reference work! This fully updated and revised 3rd edition addresses the entire field of mechanical vibration and shock as one of the most important types of load and stress applied to structures, machines and components in the real world.

Fatigue damage in a system with one degree of freedom is one of the two criteria applied when comparing the severity of vibratory environments. The same criterion is also used for a specification representing the effects produced by the set of vibrations imposed in a real environment.

The vast majority of vibrations encountered in the real environment are random in nature. Such vibrations are intrinsically complicated and this volume describes the process that enables us to simplify the required analysis, along with the analysis of the signal in the frequency domain.

This volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, properties and the assumptions involved in its calculation.
