From the reviews: "The volume under review ... shows which subjects in the field of nonlinear dynamics and control are currently hot research topics in the applied mechanics community. ... There is no doubt that this volume will be great help for everybody, but especially for young scientists wishing to enter this field because it gives a nice state-of-the-art collection of papers on the subject from the engineering point of view."
