Access to the book

[bagustris]

Hi Joseph,

Since this repository is made to accompany the book, it is difficult to follow the development of this toolbox without having the book. I tried to find the book (which is already published by Wiley according to an internet search), but I can't find any store that sells it. Where can I buy this book?

I am planning to use this book for tutoring vibration monitoring courses.

Unfortunately, the book is far from published. It may never be. Life and career have gotten in the way. It would never make enough money so now it's something I work on as a hobby when I have time.

The text is more than enough to teach an entire course from. I've been doing it for a decade (but have stopped with my recent responsibilities). I'd be happy to share the manuscript in its current form for use by your class at no cost. It's far more polished than this module. At this time, I'd ask a) students don't share it on the internet, b) I get feedback. I know students may make extra copies, etc., but getting them to sign that they will not post it, and would remove it if asked, from internet services is good enough for me.

The toolbox isn't integrated with the text: there is really nothing in the text to show how to use the toolbox. The best way to understand it is

a) through the tutorial jupyter notebook which can be found at:
https://github.com/Vibration-Testing/vibrationtesting/tree/master/JupyterNotebooks

You can either download them, or read them online and copy them over.

b) The full manual, as it stands today, is at http://vibration-testing.github.io/vibrationtesting/

c) The help in the reference manual may be the best set of examples right now.

I would certainly accept good contributions to the manuals, examples, etc., though it's a bit hard for me to find time if they aren't in good form. Your students could get a great experience contributing themselves.

Will contact you for the draft.
If I used it, I will:
a) Not to share the draft with the students, but this repo.
b) I will give feedback after the course.

Since the course will begin next September, I will look at this repo
for more detail first.
