Introduction to Numerical Methods in Vibrations
Towards the end of the 19 century , development in rotating machinery led to large complicated and heavy systems Thus the requirement for the methods which could handle large matrices to determine the Eigen values and Eigen vectors was felt by the industries After the II world war , the higher modes of the systems under operation also became very important in fields such as the aviation and shipping fields These all lead to the development of the systems solution in the numerical methods The important methods are
