SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the lack of answer solutions for the "Mechanical Vibration" textbook by Haym Baneroya. Users express frustration over the absence of a solution manual and suggest that students should approach the book by reading, thinking critically, solving problems independently, and verifying answers through alternative methods. The importance of performing reasonableness checks on solutions is emphasized as a critical step in the learning process. Participants recommend using supplementary resources, such as the Inman textbook, for additional practice problems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical vibration concepts
  • Familiarity with problem-solving techniques in engineering
  • Ability to perform mathematical verification of solutions
  • Knowledge of supplementary textbooks, such as the Inman book
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore alternative textbooks that provide solutions to problems in mechanical vibration
  • Research methods for verifying engineering problem solutions
  • Learn about critical thinking strategies for engineering education
  • Investigate online forums or study groups focused on mechanical vibration topics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineering students, educators, and self-learners seeking effective strategies for studying mechanical vibration and overcoming challenges related to problem-solving without available solutions.

I really liked this book but the problems don't have answers at all (not even numerical one's at the back of the book). There is not even a solution manual to download or buy online. How am I supposed to use this book otherwise?

Instructor Solution Manuals are not generally available to students (even those who are self-studying). Your best bet may be to find a similar textbook that does publish the solutions to half of the problems in the back of the book...

The intended use is this way: (1) you read the book, (2) you think carefully about what it says, (3) you work the problems on your own, and (4) you check your answers. You'll be amazed at how well it works and how much you will learn.

(4) you check your answers.
Check them by doing the problems two different ways? Is that what you mean?
 
Sometimes doing the problem by a second method is the best way. Other times, you can simply substitute your final results back into your initial equations to verify that you do in fact have a solution. This last presumes that you had the correct equations to start.

PS: The ot her check that should always be done is the "reasonableness check." Does the answer make sense, or is it out of the ball park?

I guess I will use good old inman book for problems for now. Thanks for help anyways.
