DESCRIPTION:
Still widely read and cited by authors in these areas, Den Hartog's books are a tribute to his gift for exposition and clarity. P. Among the exceptions are these four books of Professor Den Hartog, which Dover reprinted and occasionally revised in later printings from 1961 through 1987: Mechanics, 1961, Strength of Materials, 1961, Mechanical Vibrations, 1985, and Advanced Strength of Materia
Although mathematics plays a role in the subject, Den Hartog employs the simplest possible mathematical approaches. Navy's Bureau of Ships, Den Hartog applies theory to practice, discussing the effects of vibrations on turbines, electrical machines, helicopter rotors and airplane wings, diesel engines and electrical transmission lines.As a special aid to classroom work or self-study, this practical text includes an extensive selection of 233 problems and answers that test the student's mastery of every section of the book. P. In fact, the author wrote it to assist him in teaching the subject at Harvard. "During the life of the book," he says, "from 1934 on, the art and science of engineering has grown at an astonishing rate and the subject of vibration has expanded with it." Professor Den Hartog's constant revisions have kept his book at the forefront of this vital subject, as useful today as its earlier versions were to students of the past.. Drawing on his experience as an engineer in private industry and in the U.S. Den Hartog, retired professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, reflects the author's
P. Den Hartog (1901–1989), who taught for most of his career at MIT, was one of the founders of the Dover reprint program in engineering. Among the exceptions are these four books of Professor Den Hartog, which Dover reprinted and occasionally revised in later printings from 1961 through 1987: Mechanics, 1961, Strength of Materials, 1961, Mechanical Vibrations, 1985, and Advanced Strength of Materials, 1987. Not many books in engineering have a productive shelf life spanning several decades. P. About the AuthorJ. Still widely read and cited by authors in these areas, Den Hartog's books are a tribute to his gift for exposition and clarity. Den Hartog: The Reprint EngineerJ. As the author of several books that Dover reprinted and still has in print, and as an advisor from the 1950s until just a few years before his death in 1989, Professor Den Hartog gave invaluable advice concerning books of lasting inte
Mechanical Vibrations by den Hartog Well written; very clear; many practical examples of rotating machinery which are useful in design of structures to resist vibrations. This book gives true return on the dollar spent for same. den Hartog's explanations appreciated by students. Highly recommend as supplemental text. Five Stars Ok. Theory applied to practical problems I purchased Hartog's book together with Meirovitch's Fundamentals of Vibrations and Kelly's Schaum's Mechanical vibrations. I must say that Hartog and Meirovitch complement each other beautifully whereas Kelly's book feels a little superfluous.It is clear from the book that Hartog
