From the reviews:

“This book is organized into eight chapters, and a brief index. Every chapter ends with a section reviewing the topic and a list of references. ... There are problems for the students at the ends of chapters ... . bring out the importance and many interesting phenomena in nonlinear vibration of plates and shells. ... the materials covered in this book are about right for a graduate course under the same title.” (C. W. S. To and S. K. Lau, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 58 (4), July-August, 2010)

“This book provides a well-rounded summary of nonlinear vibration theoretical and practical aspects, with a comprehensive treatment of multi-modal structural vibration problems and control techniques for such systems. ... With a very good mixture of theory and practical examples, the authors are able to present very technical material without losing the interest of the reader. This book is intended for postgraduate students and researchers possessing basic knowledge in linear vibration ... . a book that belongs in the library of anyone involved on related topics.” (Silviu Nastac, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 16 (1), 2011)

Reseña del editor

Identifying, modelling and controlling nonlinear vibrations is becoming incre- ingly important in a range of engineering applications. This is particularly true in the design of ?exible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, sports stadia and other tall/slender structures. There are also applications in the areas of robotics, mechatronics,micro-electro-mechanicalsystems(MEMS),andnon-destructivete- ing (NDT) and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring (SHM). In the majority of cases, the trend is towards lighter structures, increased ?exib- ity and other higher levels of performance requirements. It is increasingly common for structuresto have integratedactuator andsensor networks to carry out tasks such as limiting unwanted vibrations, detecting damage and in some cases changing the shape of the structure. These types of structures have become knownas smart str- tures (sometimes called adaptive or intelligent structures). They are often made of new compositematerials and their ability to performmultiple tasks means that these types of smart structures are multifunctional. Nonlinearbehaviourin structuraldynamics arises naturallyfrom a rangeof c- mon material and geometric nonlinearities. By their nature, these structures are t- ically made up of highly ?exible continuous elements such as beams, cables and plates. They are also required to operate in a dynamic environment and, as a result, understanding the vibration behaviour of the structures is critically important.
