Noise and Vibration Analysis - 9780470746448

First complete and practical guide to combine both signal processing and modal analysis theory with their practical application in noise and vibration analysis

Noise and Vibration Analysis adopts a practical learning approach, building upon two existing class-note type books that have been used by the author for 10 years of teaching two academic courses. As such, it provides an invaluable, integrated guide for practicing engineers as well as a suitable introduction for advanced students new to the subject. Offering remarkably complete and comprehensive coverage, it addresses the theory and application of signal analysis procedures as they are applied in modern instruments and software for noise and vibration analysis; this is an area that combines electrical engineering topics such as sensor technology and signal processing, and the mechanical engineering topics of dynamic systems and modal analysis

• Adopts a practical learning approach with exercises that allow the content to be developed in an academic course framework or as supplementary material for private and further study
• Explains how noise and vibration analysis techniques are applied in modern instruments and software for noise and vibration analysis
• Features numerous line diagrams and other illustrations
• Accompanied by a web site with MATLAB® examples
