“This book has been written with the focus onlinking the gaps between structural mechanics, vibrations and modern controltheory. The major contents should be very helpful to young scientists andgraduate-level students, and could also bring certain guidance to engineersworking in the vibration control fields. … This fundamental theory is veryimportant for young researchers to use as a reference to further conduct theresearch and apply the techniques for noise control engineering fields.” (GuohuaSun, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 63 (4), July-August, 2015)
