This is the most comprehensive book stressing the importance of physical parameters controlling vibration, role of critical speeds of industrial rotors and field balancing. Design features of metallic and non-metallic isolators, machine foundations, working principles of transducers and exciters and several case studies enhance the value of the book. Use of 3 D beam element to solve the industrial problems along with the source code, and more than 100 practical worked examples make the book versatile. Written in a lucid language emphasizing concepts, the book will be a priceless possession for students, teachers and professional engineers.
