Engineering Looking for a good book on Mechanical Vibration

AI Thread Summary
For those starting in Mechanical Vibration, classic texts by Timoshenko and Den Hartog are highly recommended for their comprehensive coverage and problem sets. It is advised to choose Timoshenko's 3rd edition or the 2nd edition, as later versions are considered inferior. WTThompson is also noted as a valuable author, with earlier editions preferred for their authenticity. These resources provide a solid foundation for practicing and understanding mechanical vibration concepts.

The classic texts by Timoshenko and by Den Hartog are very difficult to beat. (With Timoshenko, get the 3rd ed, or failing that the 2nd ed; nothing later as they are simply bastardized versions by others, trading on Timoshenko's name.)
WTThompson is also a good author, but again, get an earlier edition done by Thompson himself.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
