Practical Solution of Torsional Vibration Problems

THE objective treatment of the subject of torsional vibration which has been adopted by Dr. W. Ker Wilson leads inevitably to the call for more and yet more examples of the practical solution of problems such as arise in this increasingly important branch of the designer's work. The original single-volume treatise has now been enlarged to two very substantial volumes which greatly increase the scope of the work. This at the same time gives opportunity for the re-writing of sections such as that dealing with damping devices, which has been brought up to date and now includes a separate chapter on the rotating pendulum vibration absorber.Practical Solution of Torsional Vibration ProblemsWith Examples from Marine, Electrical, Aeronautical and Automobile Engineering Practice.
