Mechanical engineering, and engineering discipline born of the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face p- found issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series is a series f- turing graduate texts and research monographs intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate - ucation and research. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of series editors, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the series editors are listed on page vi of this volume. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational - chanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, processing, thermal science, and tribology. Preface After15yearssincethepublicationofVibrationofStructuresandMachines and three subsequent editions a deep reorganization and updating of the material was felt necessary. This new book on the subject of Vibration dynamics and control is organized in a larger number of shorter chapters, hoping that this can be helpful to the reader. New materialhas been added and many points have been updated. A larger number of examples and of exercises have been included.

Industry Reviews

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 text. 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 LovÅ¡ek, 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)
