Customer Reviews

Extremely useful resource
This mechanical engineering reference book is the very best of its kind. I use it frequently within my own consulting practice, and find it to be vastly superior to the more popular Mark's and Eschbach's Handbooks. Rothbart's book covers a broad range of highly-relevant subject matter without sacrificing depth or detail. To accomplish this, the editors wisely avoid content that is not generally useful across various industries. Each subject is thoughtfully and thoroughly presented. This is definitly an engineer's engineering reference book. It is an excellent resource for those practicing in the field and very much worth the price.

Great Resource
Easy to use and very helpful manual for mechanical engineers. Very simply spells out easy ways to approximate complex systems for vibe and structural characterization.
