This book is a reference for engineering designers on the discipline of shock and vibration principles. Treatment of many topics is concise to permit a broad scope of topics, so a list of references allows for deeper study of individual topics. Standard notation and terminology are defined as in 1960 standards. This is Professor Crede's last book written before his death. xi + 146pp. Title is sole entry in Prentice-Hall Series in Engineering Design, Studies in Engineering Design. 6 other titles for this category are listed as in preparation.
