About this title

Review:

From the Preface:
..."The editors of the present Encyclopedia of Vibration have performed a valuable service to the field by dividing the subject matter into 168 chapters and selecting experts to create authoritative chapters on the individual topics. The result is a three-volume encyclopedia, which will be of great value to practicing vibration engineers and theorists. The encyclopedia will also be useful as a general reference, and as a guide to students, and professionals in neighboring fields."
--STEPHEN H. CRANDALL, Ford Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
