∘ The use of the modern analysis technique, Finite Element Method, for the solution of vibration prob-
lems is covered in a separate chapter (Chapter 12). The finite element method is a popular technique
that is used in industry for the modeling, analysis, and solution of complex vibrating systems.
• Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data:
The experimental methods and analysis of data related to vibration are presented in Chapter 10. The
equipment used in conducting vibration experiments, signal analysis, and identification of system param-
eters from the data are discussed.
