Good Morning

These documents suggest a good text on Vibrations.

If you read the PDF, you see MANY example problems.

However, each and every one is an abstract schematic.

I keep thinking: If only the author provided a supplement to aligh each abstract schematic with a REAL WORLD vibration problem/device.

I search for many books and they all do this.

Can someone suggest a book that ALSO provides REAL examples aligned with the schematics?

Most vibration textbooks will have a few examples with "real world" devices and a corresponding schematic. Rao comes to mind for example. But nearly every problem in every vibration book I'm aware of uses these schematics. These components (spring, mass, damper) are the basic building blocks of vibrations, the language in which these problems are formulated and solved.. It's like looking for a book on circuits and getting frustrated because you only see resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

I would expect the connection to "real" applications to be made in the actual text of the chapters? That PDF you linked is just worked problems.

These examples in the pdf actually look pretty good. If you want a classic Mechanical Engineering book that treats such examples, try "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" from Meriam and Kraige.
