O autorze

Nicolae Lobontiu is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage, USA. Dr. Lobontiu’s research interests for the last two decades have focused on flexure/flexible hinges and macro/micro-scale hinge-based compliant mechanisms. He has published several journal papers on these research topics and is the author of four other books: System Dynamics for Engineering Students – second edition, Dynamics of Microelectromechanical Systems, Mechanical Design of Microresonators, and Mechanics of Microelectromechanical Systems (with E. Garcia). Professor Lobontiu’s teaching background includes courses in dynamics of systems, controls, mechanical vibrations, finite element analysis, dynamics, and mechanics of materials.
