"Basic" Dynamic Analysis References

[TimmyH76]

Anyone have any ideas for a good references for someone needing to firm up on dynamic analysis. This primarily relates to design of structures supporting machinery. Thanks for you input!!

If you want a text book, google Anil K. Chopra.

If you have access to a library with engineering texts I recommend the Shock and Vibration Handbooks. They cover the basics as well as in-depth theory and finally mitigation to typical shock and vibration problems.

Of course, the volumes are too expensive to have on hand so the library is best.
