From the ox carts and pottery wheels the spacecrafts and disk drives, efficiency and quality has always been dependent on the engineer s ability to anticipate and control the effects of vibration. And while progress in negating the noise, wear, and inefficiency caused by vibration has been made, more is needed.

Modeling and Control of Vibration in Mechanical Systems answers the essential needs of practitioners in systems and control with the most comprehensive resource available on the subject.
