"The necessity to write yet another book on vibration has arisen out of the author's desire to weld these diverse aspects into one homogeneous, coherent and integrated text which will not appear amateurish to the physicist-mathematician or excessively academic to the engineer-technologist. With this objective in view the physical principles are introduced and explained clearly. The mathematical models are set up, equations of motion derived, solutions obtained and their limitations stated precisely. A unique feature of the mathematical presentation is the way it is constructed piece by piece, in such a way as to emphasise its physical significance and conform to Poinsot's counsel of perfection cited above . The application of these principles to engineering problems is given concissely and solved examples are provided to improve comprehension".
