In Vibration Testing, with Modal Testing Analysis and Health Monitoring , Slater addresses the need for an accessible and practical text covering the broad field of vibration testing in structures and machine health monitoring. The book is divided into clear chapters giving an overview of the major topics. This begins with a review of the fundamentals (both single and multiple degree of freedom systems), then goes on to cover probability theory, random signal analysis, equipment and initiation tests in vibration testing, modal analysis and correction, and machine health monitoring. Generally, the book is practice oriented with real-world examples, problems, laboratory experiments and a solutions manual, additionally, there are sufficient sections written from a theoretical perspective to allow the instructor to follow either an applied or theoretical track, at their discretion. In creating a book with this scope, Slater lays the foundation for more rigorous treatments of the subject, while training the engineer to be competent in testing.
