Overall Best Vibration Book Yet

As a practicing mechanical engineer and vibration analyst for over eight years, I have found Mr.Wowk's book the best yet. In particular, I have found this book to have a good index and sensibly ordered so information can be obtained quickly. Also, Mr.Wowk has smartly avoided extensive mathmatical discussions in his book and focused the content towards common problems and solutions. To improve his book I would recommend more case histories and more extensive content on topics such as electrical problems and bearing faults. Overall it is the best book of its type I have read yet.

Well written with a focus on the fundmentals.

A great book for anyone interested in basic vibration analysis. Good coverage of vibration theory and application. Included are case histories that help demonstrate how to apply vibration techniques. If you want a better understanding of machinery vibration with a focus on real world application this is a best buy.
