This manual, "Mechanical Vibrations" by J. P. Den Hartog, originally published in 1917, provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. It originated from a series of lectures given to students at the Design School of the Westinghouse Company in Pittsburgh, Pa., and later became a regular course at the Harvard Engineering School. The book has undergone modifications and additions based on industrial experience, literature, consulting practice, and service during the war in the Bureau of Ships of the U. S. Navy.
The content covers various topics including the kinematics of vibration, single degree of freedom system, two degrees of freedom, many degrees of freedom, and multicylinder engines. It also addresses recent advances in subjects such as airplane wing flutter, helicopter ground vibration, torsional pendulum dampers, singing ships propellers, and electronic instruments.
With a focus on simplicity without avoiding mathematics, this manual is designed to be useful for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. It offers a reasonably complete treatment of the subject with a straightforward mathematical approach. The third edition includes an increased number of problems and updates in line with recent advances in the field.
