Because the section on frequency domain analysis (vibrations) is hurting my brain...
Are there any alternatives to this book that may be a little less abstract?

Thanks,
Mac

Dorf is another good resource which has come in handy for me. Although for most things... Ogata seems to be the most readable.

Dorf, RC, Modern Control Systems, Addison-Wesley.

Hope this helps.
