This book investigates linear and non linear vibration phenomena in discrete and
continuous structures with emphasis on the methods provided by mathematical
analysis and their applications to concrete examples in mechanical engineering.
Efforts have been made ensure a clear understanding of the basic ideas related
to coupling and resonance effects, modal analysis, stability or instability
criteria, rotating machinery, and wave interaction mechanism. The book is
suitable for students and researchers in mechanics and mechanical engineering.
From the reviews: ...Not only is this book concerned with known problems, but it
also presents some original results and new and fruitful interpretations for
several theories. The theoretical part of each chapter
