- Review of Schaum's Outline of Mechanical Vibrations
An excellent, thorough and comprehensive overview of the subject, with clear, detailed and well organized presentation of vibrations theory and problem solving methodologies. A valuable classic reference asset to any graduate student's or practicing engineer's technical library. Highly recommended for all mechanical engineers.

- A good supplement if you have the right prerequisites
This Schaum's outline is a better reference and source of examples and problems than it is a stand-alone tutorial. It does a pretty good job of outlining the material and kinds of problems you need to solve in a course on mechanical vibrations, but the explanations fall somewhat short. Also, remember that to understand this material you should already be familiar with matrix algebra, calculus, and both partial and differential equations, as well as your engineering mechanics. The wave equation and even Lagrangian dynamics are mentioned, and you are going to need to already understand those subjects if the problems in this book are going to make any sense. If you want a good cheap textbook on the subject that does a great job of explaining everything, I recommend "Mechanical Vibrations", by Hartog and published by Dover. That book was written many years ago, but it is still better than the expensive newer texts on ... Read More

- Schaum's Outline Series are good!
I raise a hand of praise to these books in general. But, when it comes to Mechanical Vibrations, this guide falls short in some places. While the problems you must solve are of great help, some of the calculated problems and discussions are somewhat misleading (especially if you're rusty on your matrices).
