Mechanical Vibrations

More about the book

Rooted in lectures from the Design School of the Westinghouse Company, this book emerged during a time when design was not yet part of technical education. Initially published in 1934, it aimed to support a course at Harvard Engineering School. The first edition drew heavily from the author's industrial experience, while subsequent editions incorporated insights from real-world problems, consulting work, and military service in the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships, reflecting the evolving nature of design education and practice.
