From the reviews: "The book is composed of 30 chapters, subdivided into three parts. … The bibliography is excellent including 173 references for general mechanical vibrations, 26 references for nonlinear and chaotic vibrations and 26 references for dynamics of rotating and reciprocating machines. In addition the index seems well suited for the subject matter presented in the ... Read moretext. This text is very appropriate for graduate level studies in vibration and machine design; and is perfect as a reference for mechanical engineers involved with the design of machine elements." (Reginald H. Keith, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 57 (2), 2009) "This book … presents a profound theoretical background of general vibration mechanics and control for linear dynamics of discrete systems and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of continuous system. … The work is intended for wide audience: this would include specialists in vibration dynamics and control, students in a range of mechanical, aeronautical and mechatronic specialties. … it is also useful for design engineers … . equally addressed to applied mathematicians and physicists working in the field of control theory and mechanics." (Jan Lovíšek, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1160, 2009) “This book is an excellent professional reference for students and engineers as well as academicians in order to grasp mechanical vibration and control fundamentals. … author has done an excellent job of trying to include all aspects of vibration and structural dynamics. It is interesting to note some of the features … as extra details for academic purposes. The features are the short preface for each chapter and remarks and examples throughout the chapter in addition to the exercises at the end of each chapter.” (Hanim Salleh, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 17 (4), 2012) Show Less
