Biographical note
Balakumar Balachandran is a Minta Martin Professor of Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. He has authored and co-authored many books, chapters, and journal articles related to the dynamics of vibrations, and he has several patents to his credit. He is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Edward B. Magrab is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. He has extensive experience in analytical and experimental analysis of vibrations and acoustics, serving as an engineering consultant to over twenty companies and authoring or co-authoring a number of books on vibrations, noise control, instrumentation, integrated product design, MATLAB, and Mathematica. He is a Life Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.'Vibrations is a brilliant and polished presentation of vibration understanding and analyses for a very broad spectrum of dynamical engineering system applications and readers. If I could own only one book on vibration, this would be my choice.' C. Dan Mote, Jr, National Academy of Engineering
'A comprehensive treatment of engineering vibrations, written by eminent researchers in the field, notable for its treatment of both linear and nonlinear vibrations using techniques from the frequency and time domains.' Michael J. Leamy, Georgia Institute of Technology
'The authors' research, augmented by their considerable experience as leading scientists in mechanical vibrations, offers a unique and crucial perspective for future mechanical and structural engineers. This book's elegant style and nice illustrations will prove extremely beneficial to such engineers, helping solve a great variety of vibration problems coming from new industrial products.' Haiyan Hu, Beijing Institute of Technology
'This is a very well-written book with clear explanations and good examples for the readers to connect theory with practice. Integrating principles of linear and nonlinear vibrations throughout the book in a balanced manner is a great idea.' Kon-Well Wang, University of Michigan
