Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book collects the most topics on mechanical vibration techniques applied in spacecraft design and in other areas of mechanical engineering. The contents of the book reflect the modern level of knowledge in the linear theory of vibrations. … Because this book contains an extensive list of topics on mechanical vibration in aerospace field, it may be very useful to students, postgraduate students, engineers and scientists of the corresponding specializations." (Yuri N. Sankin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1059 (10), 2005)
