• Model Generation and Parameter Identification.- Dynamics of Rigid Machines.- Foundation and Vibration Isolation.- Torsional Oscillators and Longitudinal Oscillators.- Bending Oscillators.- Linear Oscillators with Multiple Degrees of Freedom.- Simple Nonlinear and Self-Excited Oscillators.- Rules for Dynamically Favorable Designs.- Relations to System Dynamics and Mechatronics.

From the reviews: "The textbook addresses graduate students as well as practicing engineers. It combines two disciplines that in many countries are presented separately in lectures titled 'Theory of mechanisms and machines' and 'Vibrations' or 'Theory of vibrations'. ... Practical examples are used in the book to explain typical dynamic effects, such as gyroscopic effect, damping and absorption, shocks, resonances of higher order, nonlinear and self-exited vibrations. The book includes 60 exercises with detailed solutions." (Boris Ivanovich Konosevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1207, 2011)
