Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: Vibrations and stability ! attracted a vast amount of attention of a multitude of researchers in the past and present and will remain highly topical in the future. ! The 2nd edition of the book, a thoroughly revised and expanded version of the 1st edition, is an essential by-product of this evolution. ! In the reviewer's opinion the author ! has written a highly recommendable book. I am very pleased to review the book. ! It presents a very readable and well-structured account ! . (Dr C. B. Sharma, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 45 (6), 2004) The second edition of 'Vibrations and Stability' is an accomplished and valuable book, mainly devoted to vibrations in the non-linear regime. ! It is a pleasure to read this clearly written book, which achieves the aim of presenting important material on non-linear vibrations in a useful and quite understandable manner. ! relevant references are given for readers interested in more information. ! Engineers, researchers, and particularly students and teachers in mechanical and structural engineering will find this to be a very helpful book. (Pedro Ribeiro, Journal of Sound and Vibration, Vol. 274 (4-5), 2004) Every chapter is equipped with useful exercises. The reviewed book will be very useful in engineering and scientific practice.
