Theory of Vibration and Normal Modes

dx · Oct 15, 2008

I'm looking for an in depth and comprehensive treatment of the theory of normal modes; any suggestions?

"Vibrations and Waves" by French, or the section in Marion and Thornton. If French is not what you're looking for, it has a good bibliography so check that out.

French is a good basic introduction, but doesn't cover matrix methiods. For that supplement with the chapters on oscillations in Symon or Goldstein.

French looks good, thanks.
