Advanced Vibrations

Reza N. Jazar is a professor in the Aerospace, Mechanical, & Manufacturing Engineering Department at RMIT University. His main research areas are nonlinear dynamics, robotics, control, and MEMs. He's written extensively on many diverse topics in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering. He is also the author of Theory of Applied Robotics: Kinematics, Dynamics and Control and regularly teaches undergraduate and graduate-level courses in mechanical engineering.

"It introduces the fundamental knowledge used in mechanical vibrations. ... The monograph will be useful to teachers of analytical mechanics and general mechanics in colleges and technical universities, and to designers, practitioning engineers and students of engineering." (Sergei Georgievich Zhuravlev, zbMATH 1311.74001, 2015)
