Measuring and testing structures and mechanical systems for vibration is critical in maximizing their durability and ensuring safety. Condensing information from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, Vibration Monitoring, Testing, and Instrumentation supplies a convenient guide to the tools, techniques, data, and instrumentation to successfully measure vibration behavior. Expert contributors examine instrumentation, signal acquisition, LabVIEWT tools for virtual instrumentation, shock and vibration methodologies for various civil and mechanical engineering systems, signal conditioning, and recording. The book also includes an additional chapter on human response to vibration.
