This book logically covers three major subject areas:

• Basic Theory of Shock and Vibration
• Measurement, Testing, Design, and Control Methodologies
• Practical Applications of Theory

Harris' Shock and Vibration Handbook, 5th Edition has been completely revised to provide coverage of critical topics such as:

• Application of computers to shock and vibration problems
• Recent advances in the analysis of vibration data
• Use of composite materials
• High-intensity sound-induced vibration
• Protection against injuries from shock and vibration
• Design of equipment for shock and vibration environments
• And much more!

Invaluable to engineers specializing in mechanical, aeronautical, acoustical, civil, electrical and transportation engineering Harris' Shock and Vibration Handbook, 5th Edition is a useful guide to the solution of shock and vibration problems.
