- Dr. Den Hartog is a Pioneer
Hey this guy taught at MIT for years - it is the best analytical treatise on the subject in 1934 (and BTW, Physics has not changed since then).

I LOVED the book - it covered FUNDAMENTAL points that are timeless.

KUDOS to Dr. Den Hartog, and Rest in Peace - your contrbutions in this arena will never be forgotten.

Rating:

- a classic in the field
This is a good book for understanding the mathematics behind vibrations. The book initially contained basically everything known about the subject at the time it was written (1930s). Its only deficiency is its age. It does not cover modern developments such as the use of computers, numerical methods or FEM/FEA in vibration analysis. It also relates how the equations derived can be used for electromagnetic vibrations, providing nice insight into the power of the mathematics it discusses.

Rating:

- Very well written book
I found Hartog's descriptions of vibrating bodies on moving bases very helpful in the class, and as a supplement to both the lectures and the assigned reading for the class out of "Theory of Vibrations" (Horrible book by the way), the class ended up being not that bad. Hartog though doesn't include many examples which made really understanding the concepts straight from his book a bit difficult.

- A practical introduction that helps you "feel" the subject.
"Mechanical Vibration" is a great value for those interested in obtaining a "feel" for vibration phenomenon and theory. The book is pedagogically oriented and well-written, with the reader always in mind. It contains good basic coverage for both one and two degree-of-freedom systems. Some basic calculus and understanding of complex numbers is assumed. In addition, there is a lot of practical material on internal combustion engines, the balancing of rotating machinery, self-excited vibrations, and vibration tuning and management. Although the book is quite old, it remains a very nice introduction to the field. I only wish I had known about it when taking vibration class in college. It would have been a good supplement to the required text.
