Abstract: In order to better select and guide the compilation of mechanical vibration textbooks, this article investigates and analyzes mechanical vibration textbooks in European and American countries and other countries published during 2006 to 2021. The investigation is carried out in the aspects from the classic textbooks on mechanical vibration in European and American countries and their reprints, new textbooks on mechanical vibration in European and American countries, postgraduate textbooks and high-level vibration books (structure-borne noise, modal, vibration control), textbooks on vibration from other countries, and textbooks compiled by industrial consultants suitable for engineers. The analysis includes the main contents, characteristic contents, engineering cases, exercises, breadth and depth of the contents, and across of disciplines and industries. Finally, in combination with our current development, suggestions for the development of vibration textbooks are put forward.
