A first course in vibrations and waves

Artikelnummer 10215592

This title builds on introductory physics and emphasises understanding of vibratory motion and waves based on first principles. It is divided into three parts Part I contains a preliminary chapter that reviews relevant ideas of mechanics and complex numbers; Part II discusses vibrations of mechanical systems covering a simple harmonic oscillator coupled oscillators normal coordinates beaded string continuous string standing waves and Fourier series. Part II ends with a presentation of stationary solutions of driven finite systems. Part III is concerned with waves.
