DESCRIPTION:
P. Den Hartog (1901–1989), who taught for most of his career at MIT, was one of the founders of the Dover reprint program in engineering. About the AuthorJ. Den Hartog Award, established in 1987, is presented in recognition of lifetime contributions to the teaching and practice of vibration engineering.. As the author of several books that Dover reprinted and still has in print, and as an advisor from the 1950s until just a few years before his death in 1989, Professor Den Hartog gave invaluable advice concerning books of lasting interest and importance in his field. The J. Still widely read and cited by authors in these areas, Den Hartog's books are a tribute to his gift for exposition and clarity. P. Not many books in engineering have a productive shelf life spanning several decades. P. Among the exceptions are these four books of Professor Den Hartog, which Dover reprinted and occasionally revised in later printings from 1961 through 1987
David A. Nuss said Mechanical Vibrations by den Hartog. Well written; very clear; many practical examples of rotating machinery which are useful in design of structures to resist vibrations. This book gives true return on the dollar spent for same. den Hartog's explanations appreciated by students. Highly . Five Stars Ok. Theory applied to practical problems Amazon Customer I purchased Hartog's book together with Meirovitch's Fundamentals of Vibrations and Kelly's Schaum's Mechanical vibrations. I must say that Hartog and Meirovitch complement each other beautifully whereas Kelly's book feels a little superfluous.It is c
Numerous figures in the text enhance its value as a basic foundation in a field which Den Hartog calls "a necessary tool for almost every mechanical engineer." The author examines such topics as the kinematics of vibration (including harmonic motions and non-harmonic periodic motions), degrees of freedom, gyroscopic effects, relaxation oscillations, Rayleigh's method, natural frequencies of torsional vibration, Karman vortices, and systems with variable elasticity. His lucid explanations of complex problems are presented in a direct style and supported by illustrative models. In fact, the author wrote it to assist him in teaching the subject at Harvard. Drawing on his experience as an engineer in private industry and in the U.S. Although mathematics p
